Today, the Asatrus celebrate Lindisfarne Day. On June 8, 793, the monastery of Lindisfarne was pillaged by a Viking raid. This day marks the golden age of the Vikings, known mainly for raids in Europe, but especially for fine explorers and traders from the lands of northern Europe. Vikings is not a people but only a name. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #8June #Vikings #Asatru #Lindisfarne

Today, and since the 5th century CE, French towns have chosen La Rosière. The tradition consists, originally, of giving a crown of roses (hence the name) to the young girl whose irreproachable conduct, virtue, piety and modesty have marked the village. This was instituted by Saint Médard in 525 in Salency in Oise. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #8June #France #rosière
