History of December Solstice in Trinidad and Tobago and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
The December solstice occurs when the sun is at its farthest south point from the equator. In Trinidad and Tobago, this happens on December 21st or 22nd. The December solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year. After the solstice, the days get longer and the nights get shorter. This is because the Earth’s tilt starts to change and the sun starts to move back towards the equator. The December solstice is a special day for many cultures around the world. For example, in Trinidad and Tobago, it is the start of the Carnival season.
