Winter Solstice is a special occasion for pagans, nature
lovers and others who love this season. While there’s no definite day of Winter
Solstice activities, it usually falls between 20^th and 23^rd of
December (you can enjoy between December 21st or 22nd). The day of Winter Solstice sound signifies that the darkness is gradually
lifting and the days will grow longer.

Here’s the 5 shocking facts about Winter Solstice 2020!

The December solstice inspires many celebrations across the
globe that trace back to centuries. From Valkyries, ancient Chinese to
Germanic, they all celebrate this day differently!

Germanic peoples herald the feast of Juul (Yule or Yuletide)
by burning a yule log to pay tribute to the Norse god Thor. In addition to
this, pagans and Germanic people would indulge in various dancing, singing, and
wassailing activities as a part of Winter Solstice celebrations.

While the advent of Christianity eradicated much of these
ancient traditions, there are still many practices that have been continued for
centuries such as year-end bacchanal Roman Saturnalia. Romans used to sing songs and decorate the halls with greens and garlands to celebrate this day.

Zoroastrians believe that evil entities walk down the Earth
during the Winter Solstice. So, they used to spend the night by singing,
dancing, sharing poetries and stories to stay awake whole night in company of
one another.

Here’s how Google Doodle celebrated Winter Solstice as well as the rare occurrence of The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn!

Perhaps the most popular Winter Solstice celebration in the
world takes place in the ancient megalithic structure of Stonehenge.  Do you know, the sunset of the winter
solstice appears to align with the primary axis of the Stonehenge. Many pagans,
hippies, and other curious-minded people gather there every year to witness the
rare alignment and to celebrate the occasion.

After spending a long night there, travelers sing and dance
on the pre-historic landscape while waiting for the sunrise.
