The solstice in December also know as the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. Takes place during the coldest season of the year which leads to lighter days after the winter solstice. With this knowledge people set out to celebrate with festivity’s. The belief that the solstice was the rebirth of the Sun God with the coming of more lights with Christianity the celebration of the birth of Jesus during Christmas. The date of the 25th of December is to offset the pagan celebrations of Saturnalia and Natalis Invicti. It is amazing lots of traditions are intertwined with some bit of pagan celebrations. Take the time to just enjoy the day of Winter Solstice because I am sure happy for the coming of more light outside.
