Winter Solstice North Fife
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears to be the same for several days before and after the solstice. Hence the origin of the word solstice, which comes from Latin solstitium, from sol, “sun” and -stitium, “a stoppage.” Following the winter solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter. Thank goodness, we are now into another period of growth and rebirth. Celebrations of many kinds are taking place the now. This book elaborates on this festive season starting with the Winter Solstice.The Winter Solstice: The Sacred Traditions of Christmas
