21-June International Day of the Celebration of the Solstice:

A Winter Celebration Of The Sun. Throughout records, societies internationally have held fairs and ceremonies marking winter solstice, the day of the “solar’s rebirth.” Most frequently, winter solstice celebrations commemorated the symbolism of fire and mild, with lifestyles, death, the rising sun, and the moon.

Background Of the Day:

A solstice — derived from the Latin sol (“sun”) and sistere (“to stand”), because the seasonal motion of the Sun’s day by day route (as seen from Earth) seems to “stand” at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction — is an event that occurs while the Sun reaches its maximum northerly or southerly day-arc relative to the equator. Therefore, there are solstices that arise yearly: round June 21 (commonly known as “Summer Solstice” for being the first day of summer and the longest day of the yr) and December 21 (typically called “Winter Solstice” for being the primary day of iciness and the shortest day of the year).

An equinox — derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (same) and nox (night time) — is usually appeared as the immediately whilst the middle of the visible Sun is immediately above the Equator, and this takes place two times every yr: round 20 March (referred to as “Spring Equinox” as it marks the beginning of spring in most cultures) and 23 September (called “Autumnal Equinox” because it marks the beginning of autumn). The equinoxes are the best times while the solar terminator (the “edge” among night and day) is perpendicular to the equator, and subsequently daylight hours and middle of the night are of about same length.

The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are related to seasons, harvists and livelihood. Therefore, many cultures celebrate various combinations of the solstices, the equinoxes, and the midpoints among them, mainly on diverse vacations arising around those activities.
