Winter Solstice Celebration
2-3:30pm

Abingdon, MD
INFO
The word solstice comes from the Latin words for "sun" and "to stand
still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the
points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward
each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which
occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day. At the winter
solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position. The next
day, the path will advance northward. However, a few days before and
after the winter solstice, the change is so slight that the Sun’s path
seems to stay the same, or stand still. The Sun is directly overhead at
"high-noon" on Winter Solstice at the latitude called the Tropic of
Capricorn.
Winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during
the whole year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs around December 21
or 22. In the Southern Hemisphere, around June 20 or 21.
