Winter Solstice - 21 June
Here in Australia, we’re celebrating the winter solstice – an astronomical phenomenon that occurs each year in June as the Earth orbits the Sun. It is the shortest day of the year and the longest night; and the point at which the earth begins her long, slow turn towards the light. The winter solstice, also known as Yule, is a pagan celebration of the rebirth of the sun. It's a time to honour the sun's return, reflect on the solar year, and often involves feasting, bonfires, and rituals such as lighting candles.
The solstice has been observed for many thousands of years, as long as people have marked time by the skies, and it’s a wonderful time of year to retreat inwards and reflect on the wonders of nature.
