Artifact Overview
Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of year. Throughout history, world cultures have held festivals and ceremonies that look forward to the light, warmth, and life-giving properties of the returning sun. While St. Lucia's Day honors a Christian martyr, it incorporates early Norse Winter Solstice traditions of lighting fires to ward off spirits during the longest night.
