Happy Winter Solstice Festival
A Winter Celebration Of The Sun
Throughout history, societies across the world have held festivals and ceremonies marking winter solstice, the day of the “sun’s rebirth.” Most often, winter solstice celebrations honored the symbolism of fire and light, along with life, death, the rising sun, and the moon.
How is Winter Solstice celebrated?
The winter solstice is a reminder to honor our connection to the natural world. It is a way we can celebrate the change in seasons without traditional holidays, gifts, or decorations. Instead, we can honor winter through rituals and self-care, looking specifically to our ancestors and heritage for inspiration rather than co-opting from others (a form of cultural appropriation).
Besides, can make winter solstice lanterns. A Winter Solstice Lantern is a symbol that our light can continue to shine even as the light and warmth of the sun are waning. Like the Yule Lantern, light emanates from our hearts, homes, and the fellowship off friends, family, and community.
Wishing all the Christian out there an advance Happy Winter Solstice Day.
