Quite a unique combination! Astronomers say that there was maybe one day like this Tuesday in the past 2,000 years. The fact that we couldn't observe eclipse from our time zone, upsets me a bit, but stil we are lucky, cause now we can enjoy some really striking pictures
And now about Winter Solstice.
The winter solstice is the time when the sun has the biggest distance to the equator.
This is the shortest day of the year, which has the longest night.
Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time. (c)
For example, pagan holidays, such as Slavic Koleda (Kolyada), Germanic Yule, Celtic Midwinter, Incas' Inti Raymi and so on. Later thess pagan holidays had transformed into modern holidays such as Christmas, New Year, Hanukkah, etc.
So Let me congratulate you, my friends!
