Hackney Marshes, Jan 2022, Chris Sansom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

St Hilary’s Day is traditionally the coldest day in the year. It is normally in January, or February. This is because although the Sun is at its lowest at the Solstice, the earth and the sea retains heat. But, even so, sometimes the coldest day is in December and occasionally as early as November, or as late as March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024 the coldest day, was at Dalwhinnie, 17th January at -14.0C. In 2023, it was -16.0C, recorded at Altnaharra on the 9th of March. The coldest day in 2025 was -18.9C Altnaharra 11 January. Both places are in the Scottish Highlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of the post are the coldest days in the UK since 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Hilary & the Arians<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can’t help think that this heading sounds like a very good 1980s post-punk band?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Hilary (born 315) was the Bishop of Poitiers in France, where he died around 367 AD. He was a vigorous opponent of the Arian Heresy, which swept through the Catholic world in the late Roman period. Catholic doctrine was that God – the Father, Son and Holy Ghost was a Trinity. Arius took the view that: “If the Father begat the Son, then he who was begotten had a beginning in existence, and from this it follows there was a time when the Son was not<\/em>.” Seems like solid logic, doesn’t it? But this means that for Arians, Jesus was not equal with God. Another question at the time was, ‘Was Jesus divine?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the ecumenical First Council of Nicaea<\/a> of 325, declared Arianism to be a heresy. This was during the reign of Constantine the Great. Arianism was strong in the Eastern Empire and was accepted by Constantine’s son. It continued as a major influence, especially among the Goths and Vandals who were an increasingly important force in the Late Roman Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church takes the position that there is one God existing in three coequal, coeternal<\/a>, consubstantial<\/a> divine persons (wikipedia). It’s sobering to think how many people were martyred over these arcane attempts to maintain a coherent monotheism despite this difficult idea of three entities being one God. For more heresy please look at my post on the Pelagian Heresy and St Germanus<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hilary Term<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

St Hilary was a scholar and is one of those rare early Saints not to be horrifically martyred. We remember him in the UK with the dedication of a few Churches, particularly in Wales. He has also given his name to one of the terms of the academic year. At least for Oxford. There, Hilary Term is their name for the ‘spring term’ and this year Hilary began on the 12th January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxford names its terms Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity. Cambridge and London School of Economics share Michaelmas but call the next term ‘Lent term’ and then ‘Summer Term’. Most other universities split the academic year into three terms (autumn, spring and summer) across two academic semesters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of us ‘terms’ are a thing of our youth. For the rest of our lives we participate in the hard slog of ‘real life’. Real life is not split into terms. It is work, work, work, separated by a few short breaks. But not for the High Court and the Court of Appeal. No! They have stuck to the idea of the term. The legal establishment also uses ‘Hilary.’ This year the legal year is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hilary: Monday 12 January to Wednesday 1 April
Easter: Tuesday 14 April to Friday 22 May
Trinity: Tuesday 2 June to Friday 31 July
Michaelmas: Thursday 1 October to Monday 21 December<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too much like hard work, for the lords of Justice! Although to do them credit they have four terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I travel around Britain I find there are a lot of historic ‘Stately Homes’ which were bought by eminent Judges or lawyers. The legal establishment is based at the four Inns of Court: Lincoln’s Inn, Grey’s Inn, Inner Temple and Middle Temple. These were founded in London in the medieval period. They provided homes and well as offices (chambers) for the lawyers. The lawyers stayed in them during the legal terms. About 30 weeks out of the 52 available in the year. Then they would go off to their country estates to recuperate and enjoy the fruits of their privileged position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
