Love Left You Bleeding ~ :DieRadioDie:cuddlecoDecember 26 2004, 04:11:01 UTC
Winter solstice is when... ...because of the earth's tilt, your hemisphere is leaning farthest away from the sun, and therefore:
The daylight is the shortest.
The sun has its lowest arc in the sky.
It is usually between december 21 and december 23.
The winter solstice is also when many pagan religions celebrated the re-birth of the sun, which is why the romans scheduled the official celebration of the birth of jesus around the same time. So that no one celebration would upset anyone else's celebration, quite ingenious little fellows wheren't they?
I hope this information slays that deep burning desire you had to learn more about the Winter Solstice, if you have any more questions regarding this subject do not be shy to contact your local library or one of the kids at school who thinks it is cool to be a witch.
