St swithins day

[gureenlegend]

Better hope it dont rain where you are .


Watch out : 0)

[gureenlegend]

St Swithin was ordained the Bishop of Winchester in 852, and after his death, requested to be buried outside of Wincester Cathedral, so the rain could wash over him. However, some time later, it was decided to move Swithin�s body inside the cathedral, to a shrine. According to LEGEND, there was a massive storm and it rained for 40 days following the move, citing Swithin�s posthumous displeasure at being dry once more.


It is from this single misstep from a dead man�s wishes that Britons look to 15 July as an indicator of the weather for the next 40 days. If it rains on St Swithin�s day, it is said to continue to do so for the next 40 days, but if it is fair, that good weather will also continue for the same period of time.




ANDCWE ALLL KNOW LEGEND IS NEVER WRONG :0)

I thought that was a lot of (accurate) typing for a "green "name.
Still I don't see owt wrong with cut n' paste.
I thought St Swithin was burried/moved on 1st of Jan and the curse lasted 365 days!!!
LOL.. Will it ever be warm and calm again here in Lanc's

[funnygirl]

'St Swithin�s Day, if it does rain
Full forty days, it will remain
St Swithin�s Day, if it be fair
For forty days, t'will rain no more'

So far it is dry, cloudy but warm!!!
