Origins & Folklore
The Strawberry Moon takes its name from the Algonquin tribes who knew June as the time to harvest wild strawberries. In Europe, this moon is called the Rose Moon or Honey Moon—the latter giving us the word "honeymoon," as June was traditionally the most popular month for weddings. The summer solstice falls near this moon, making it sacred for midsummer celebrations across many cultures. Celts celebrated Litha, honoring the sun at its peak power. In ancient Rome, this was the festival of Vesta, goddess of hearth and home. The Strawberry Moon reminds us that life's sweetest moments are fleeting and meant to be savored.
