When is the winter solstice? In 2022, the date of the winter solstice is Wednesday, Dec. 21st. What is the winter solstice, and why does it happen?

It's either the shortest day of the year or the longest night, right? No, it's both. Learn all about the shortest day of the year — and tell The Old Farmers' Almanac what winter means.

For the northern half of Earth (the Northern Hemisphere), the winter solstice occurs every year on Dec. 21 or 22. (For the Southern Hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs on June 20 or 21).

The winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during the whole year, making it the “shortest day” of the year. Conversely, it's the longest night of the year.

Thankfully, after we reach the winter solstice, the days begin to once again grow longer and longer until we reach the summer solstice — the first day of summer and the longest day of the year.

Think of it this way: Although the winter solstice means the start of winter, it also means the return of more sunlight. It only gets brighter from here on it (until the cycle repeats)!

[It was therefore a key day for astrotheology, the day of the birth of an important religious figure who will return, a kind of Maitreya or Messiah. See Jordan Maxwell for more on this historical phenomenon that has given many religions their power and influence over the millennia. For example, Jesus is not the "reason for the season" and was not born on Christmas or Christ's Mass. The Bible reveals he was born much earlier in the year when the animals were out to pasture. But the Church needed to appropriate a popular winter holiday to brighten the year and make it their own to promote the imperial state religion. Researcher Eric Dubay has a better alternative explanation for the facts as to what causes the solstices and equinoxes on the plane of the earth described by most of the religions of the world. But it is so controversial that he is banned and dismissed out of hand.]
