Seasonal
Periods Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice In the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs about December
21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. On this day (Winter Solstice) we celebrate the beginning of the new solar year and the start of winter.
We just relax and enjoy this day and have fun. Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year - and consequently - we know that days will become longer from day to day. Our objective is just to celebrate winter solstice and the beginning of the new solar year. We will give gifts and food to the less fortunate - and we also feed the birds and other animals on this day. Of course, we should not forget to do this all year round! We should always remember to practice love and charity to humankind - which we are also part of! |
