THE SUN CALENDAR

The Sun Calendar is a treasury of our ancestors' wisdom, teaching us through the centuries how to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Here, we share ancient Latvian seasonal traditions and natural observations rooted in the movement of the sun and the power of the earth. It is a story of how light triumphs over darkness and how each cycle of nature grants us new energy and blessings.

The Sun Calendar is still growing... To be continued! Soon we will share more stories about the special days and traditions of the coming months.
