Happy Solstice to everyone!
The Christian reserection story is based on this. He shall die and on the third day come back to life. The sun reaches it's nadir on or around 21 Dec.stays on the same trajectory for two days and on the third day there is a slight lengthening of daylight time.Several born again saviours prior to Jesus followed this pattern but don't suggest this to any Christians you know. They don't like it.
