Solstice Celebrations

Solstice celebrations mark the times when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky, resulting in the longest or shortest days of the year. The Summer Solstice, around June 21, celebrates the longest day, while the Winter Solstice, around December 21, marks the shortest day. These events have been observed for thousands of years across cultures, often with festivals, rituals, and gatherings that honor the changing seasons and the sun’s power. The solstices symbolize renewal, light, and the cyclic nature of time, serving as important cultural and spiritual milestones worldwide.
