263-Winter Solstice- Buddhism in daily life

Winter Solstice Twice a year the sun turns, from the highest to the lowest position of the sun. Starting today, the days are getting longer again, life will soon awaken tentatively. Already our ancestors revered the sun, myths were about the special days, special festivals were celebrated. In the Germanic Julfest the Christmas festival could have its origin, also the celebrations around the sun god Sol are celebrated at the winter solstice. You are a sun in my night. My night is a sun in yours - Jean Genet - French novelist - 1910 to 1986 Since the sun remains stationary, anything that appears to be the movement of the sun is more likely due to the movement of the earth - Nicolaus Copernicus - Prussian astronomer - 1473 to 1543 Some would also strike at the sun if it offended them - Herman Melville - US writer, poet and essayist - 1818 to 1891 My Publikations: 1.)
