Definition: The term "afternoons" in English, as well as many other languages, refers to a time between the dawn and dusk hours when you might find yourself alone in a quiet or secluded spot. In the Bible (KJV), "afternoon" is used metaphorically for 3 days from sunrise until sunset, specifically during the last day of summer. This phrase is also associated with the four sun festivals: Pentecost, Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot. The Hebrew term "Afternoon" has its roots in Yiddish, a language spoken in Eastern Europe by Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants to Germany after the Thirty Years' War. In this context, "Afternoon" is used to describe the period of time when you are alone, especially on the last day of summer or at the end of a long workday. The specific details and meanings of "afternoon" vary greatly from culture to culture but generally refer to the dawn until sunset during the summer season. In some languages like Yiddish, "Afternoon" is also used for the full day from sunrise to sunset.
