The word
Two Greek words. One name for the light beside the sun.
Pronouncedpar-HEE-lee-ən
In the sky
Born of ice and light
High in the cold air, six-sided ice crystals catch the sunlight and turn it aside by 22 degrees. Two more suns appear beside the first, seen most often at sunrise and sunset, the two ends of the day.
The same sunlight,
made brilliant by six perfect sides of ice.
Why we chose the name
The sky that made a king
February 1461. On the morning of the battle that would decide his future, eighteen-year-old Edward, Earl of March, watched two more suns rise beside the first. His soldiers were afraid. Edward saw a blessing, and led them to victory.
Within weeks he was proclaimed King Edward IV, and the blazing sun became his royal badge.
Shakespeare later wrote
“Now are they but one lamp,
one light, one sun.”
in Henry VI, Part 3, as the three suns meet
We named our house after that sky:
the sign that
the day is yours.
