Winter Solstice


 

Winter Solstice occurs on 22 December. The winter solstice, also known as - the hibernal solstice, or the Shortest Day, or the Longest Night, is the shortest day and longest night of the year. It happens when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. After the winter solstice, the days start to get longer again. The winter solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years by people all over the world. It is seen as a time of rebirth, when the Sun 'dies' and is reborn. For many cultures, it is a time of feasting and celebration. It is also a time for giving thanks for the bounty of the earth.
