December 21st – Winter Solstice

It’s the shortest day of the year and the longest night.
It represents rebirth and renewal of energies for humans and nature.

The new Yew Choob video says where we stand today

 

In Scotland, the rest of the UK and Ireland

Remember: The night is far spent, the day is at hand:

                         Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,

                        And let us put on the armour of light.

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness
