I have read that the auspicious date of December 25th may have been intended to be the Solstice but that the degree of error for "making a note on a fence" is why we have the 25th. Merry Sun-Fence Day everyone. ;-) | ||

IIRC The 25th was the solstice on the Julian calendar, but when you switch it to Gregorian the solstice moves to the 21st. | ||

no - it is currently three nights after the longest night. The three refers to a similar three days at Easter time. | ||
