The tradition of Groundhog Day-explained #short #groundhog #day #2025
You're probably familiar with Groundhog Day more-so as the name of a hit nineties film starring Bill Murray, but the tradition stretches back for centuries.
The event is believed to be rooted in religious beliefs with Christians bringing their candles to church to be blessed on February 2, in hope that good fortune would bestow their homes for the rest of winter.
This particular woodchuck tradition is said to have begun in 1886 when Groundhog Day was formally recognised in Pennsylvania. The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club was established a year later and that's when the first official predictions began.
The forecast works like this: if Phil emerges from his hole and sees his shadow he has predicted six more weeks of wintry conditions. If Phil does not see his shadow, he has predicted an early spring.
The event has continued to grow in popularity with as many as 30,000 visitors trekking to Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, to see Phil make his predictions.
