The shortest day of the year used to be Dec. 13 in the 1500's, because the Julian Calendar in use then and established by Julius Caesar about 50 years B.C., LOST 8 days.This was readjusted in the the 16th-17th centuries so that the winter solstice matches the actual astronomical date, Dec. 21. E' viva Santa Lucia e Siracusa!

Well, people didn't know that when they began celebrating - and when they found out they didn't want to move it I guess ^^;
It is to celebrate the return of light, NOT darkness.

Are you sure? It's usually celebrated on the 13th, isn't it? That's well before the solstice.

vackert tycker jag =)

It is not to celebrate the darkness though, it is to celebrate that the longest (darkest) night passed and that the light know is slowly coming back.
