About Solstices
The solstices mark the extremes of daylight hours throughout the year. The winter solstice represents the shortest day and longest night, while the summer solstice brings the longest day and shortest night. This natural rhythm has guided human civilizations for millennia, marking important seasonal transitions that affect everything from agriculture to our daily energy levels.
