The ancient Egyptians celebrated the winter solstice primarily through the festival of the rebirth of the sun, known as the "Wepet-Renpet." This festival marked the return of longer daylight hours and was associated with the sun god Ra. Temples and rituals were dedicated to honor the gods, reflecting the significance of the sun's rebirth for agricultural cycles and the renewal of life. The solstice also aligned with the astronomical observations that were crucial for their calendar and agricultural planning.
