'''[[Winter Solstice]]''' is a celestial occurrence of great significance in most religions and cultures as the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year. In modern times the event generally falls on December 21 or 22. Common themes of solstice celebrations are return, rebirth, renewal, and the victory of light over darkness. Most Christians celebrate '''[[Christmas]]''' on December 25th, choosing in Roman times to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ when the Roman rulers were distracted by pagan celebrations of the Winter Solstice. | |||
