The 21st and 22nd of December are known as the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. This astronomical event occurs when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest from the sun, resulting in the sun's position being at its lowest in the sky at noon. The winter solstice often symbolizes the return of longer days, as after this date, daylight begins to increase. Various cultures celebrate this time with festivals and traditions centered around themes of rebirth and renewal.
