The equinox in the northern hemisphere typically lasts for one day, occurring around March 20th or 21st. During the equinox, day and night are approximately equal in length, marking the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere.
December is the twelfth month of the year.
If the Sun passes through your zenith on December 21, you would be located near the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere. This date marks the December solstice, when the Sun reaches its southernmost point in the sky, making it directly overhead at midday for locations within the tropics.

June 21, the date of the Summer Solstice. Because Cartagena is so near the equator, at 10 25N, there isn't much difference in the length of the day. The longest day of the year is June 21, with 12 hours 44 minutes of daylight, and the shortest day of the year, Dec 21, still has 11 hours 31 minutes of daylight.
Longest day (midsummer): 17 hours on June 21Shortest day (midwinter): 7 hours on Dec 21
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. That is true for the northern hemisphere on Jun 21. In the Southern Hemisphere, their longest day of the year is on Dec 21. This is because the Earth is rotating around the sun at an angle. That is the axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the sun. In Jun, the north axis of the earth rotation is pointing toward the sun and vice versa in Dec.
Dec 7th is the Feast Day of St. Nicholas.

If you have to pick a single month, ti would be December - which is when the Winter solstice occurs. The 31 day period with the longest hours of darkness would be from 15 days before the Winter solstice to 15 days after winter solstice. The Winter solstice occurs on 21 Dec or 22 December (depending on the year). So most of that period falls within the month of December.
