Winter Solstice 2015 Yule

Winter Solstice 2015 - Yule
The winter solstice, the rebirth of the Sun, is an important turning point, as it marks the shortest day, when the hours of daylight are at their least. It also the start of the increase in the hours of daylight, until the Summer Solstice - when darkness becomes ascendant once more. it is on this the longest night of the winter, 'the dark night of our souls', that there springs the new spark of hope, the Sacred Fire, the Light of the World.
Fire festivals, celebrating the rebirth of the Sun, held on the Winter's Solstice can be found throughout the ancient world, from the Roman to the Persian, the Nordic and Greek populations.
Wishing you all a significant day and wishful thoughts for the new year ahead
