What is Saint Swithin's Day?
Saint Swithin's Day commemorates a humble 9th-century Bishop of Winchester known for his charity. English folklore holds that the weather on this day sets the pattern for the next 40 days: "St Swithin's day if thou dost rain, for forty days it will remain." The tradition blends faith, legend, and a bit of meteorological superstition into an enduring English custom.
