Winter Solstice  

Wednesday, December 21, 2017 -  11:28 a.m.

  

The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year.  It was believed the Sun stood still in the sky...

…then, the next day, he continued on his way, and  the days began to lengthen!

“Let the sun shine in.

Open up your heart and 

let it shine on in.”

The word Solstice evolved to Middle English, from Old French from Latin solstitium, from Latin (combination of sol, the sun, and stitium, to stand still.)
