The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, a day of beginnings, of storytelling, of reflection, of celebrating, and more. For ancient astronomers, it was the day that the sun appeared at its lowest point in the Northern Hemisphere sky and at its farthest southern point over Earth. It marked the end of one year and the beginning of the next.
