0:00.0	Hello, everybody. We are back with Richard Rowland for another universal history moment.
0:06.1	And this time we're going to go a little more, a lot of people in asking,
0:09.1	when are you going to talk about American stuff, American history?
0:11.7	Because I understand most of us are in North America.
0:14.9	And so Richard proposed that we look a little bit at the symbolism behind Groundhog Day.
0:32.0	Music that we look a little bit at the symbolism behind Groundhog Day. This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world.
0:47.3	So we're recording this.
0:53.6	It's January the 28th, the feast day of St. Ephraim, the Syrian, by the way, who we're not going to really talk about today, but it is his feast day.

1:24.6	But I think that this is maybe an important thing to talk about because
1:28.4	it shows a way that there is a remnant, like a ruin of a very important aspect of medieval
1:36.6	universal history, still present in our culture today in kind of this goofy way. And so I thought
1:41.8	it would be kind of fun for people. I'm super excited because I know nothing
1:45.2	about the origin of Groundhog Day. There's a Bill Murray movie that is of course, pretty famous, which we will
