Freehold Events
|
We happily open the doors to the public on at least three of the
numerous seasonal holy-days of the Germanic calendar, Yule,
Easter and Midsummer Althing.
Everyone is welcomed to attend our monthly services on Salt Spring Island. And for the second year running, we will be offering Yule celebrations
to both the Mainland and Island communities.
As resources
allow, we will add holy-day celebrations and workshops in various communities throughout BC.
For more information on lunar calendars, see Germanic Lunar Calendars.
For lunar calendar tables through 2020, see Freehold Calendar.
