Saturday is the Sabbath and the Summer Solstice at the same time
The Earth will reach one of its four major way stations Saturday (June 21) during its annual trip around the sun.

The sun will reach its northernmost point in the sky — known as the summer solstice — Saturday. Earth's closest star will seem to pause briefly before beginning its move southward again. In the Northern Hemisphere, this marks the longest day of the year.

Because of Earth's tilt of 23.4 degrees to its orbit, the noon sun will appear to rise and fall in the sky over the course of the year. The two extremes of this apparent movement are called the solstices, derived from the Latin words for "sun stationary." [Earth's Solstices & Equinoxes (Infographic)]

In the Southern Hemisphere, Saturday will be the shortest day of the year, called the winter solstice. This situation is reversed on Dec. 21, when the sun is at its southernmost declination. People in the Northern Hemisphere call this the winter solstice, and those in the Southern Hemisphere call it the summer solstice.

Go out and check the angle of the sun yourself, it looked to me like the solstice came on the nineteenth.
