Secrets of the Solstice

December 21, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

And what is the strange and wonderful history of these– and other– symbols? Executive Director Mike Weilbacher has been writing about these symbols in his weekly newspaper columns for years, and offers a special virtual lecture on the reasons for seasonal decorations. At long last, you’ll understand why we kiss under the mistletoe.
