December 21-22. How to make a wish correctly on the winter solstice. Rites and magical actions at the Solstice

From the memoirs of Larisa Kostoeva (widow of Akhmed-Bashir Alievich Kostoev, police lieutenant, operative of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Nazran District Department of Internal Affairs).

It was a black date not only for me and my family, but for the whole people, - recalls Larisa Kostoeva. - The grief was folk. I understood that I had lost my husband, the father of the family, but my mind did not want to come to terms with it. Everything was like a fog. It was then that the long, painful days went. Younger children all the time had to compose fables about the fact that dad went on a business trip. They talked to him on the phone, and on the other end of the line there were first relatives, and then completely silence. The connection is bad, I told them. And so for five years. Then, somehow, by itself, everything was resolved.

Early in the morning on June 22, Gazi-Magomed Kostoyev went out together with other people, no matter how cruel it may sound, to collect the corpses, it is simply impossible to put it another way. Someone approached him and said that a certain Kostoev had been identified among the dead. At that time, he could not even think that it could be his brother - Akhmed-Bashir Kostoyev. At night, after the shots began, he sent his son Magomed to him in the neighboring village of Gazi-Yurt, on horseback across the fields, with a categorical demand not to leave the house under any circumstances. Although he knew that his brother was on vacation. On any other occasion, Ahmed-Bashir would not disobey his older brother. But this case was special.

“My friends are being shot like ducks,” he told his neighbor, who literally blocked his way, standing in front of the car. "How am I going to sit at home and then look people in the eye?"

He left. On the Ekazhevsky circle, the militants stopped the car. Ahmed-Bashir recognized them as acquaintances, as well as they were his. Someone offered to have mercy and let go in peace, but for greater cynicism, for self-affirmation, or simply because they were nonhumans, they demanded that he ask for mercy on his knees.

Hearing in response that he would not bow his knees in front of the vile scoundrels, the militants decided to execute the voiced proposal by force. They began to twist his arms. But they could not cope with him - Ahmed-Bashir was a tough guy. Traces of red bracelets remained on his wrists. Then they shot him in the knees. In order not to fall on his knees in front of them, Ahmed-Bashir, overcoming the pain, fell on his side. In the morning they found him with a broken head. The details of the murder were later told during the investigation by one of the militants who was present at this execution.

Akhmed-Bashir was born on May 5, 1968 in the village of Gazi-Yurt, Nazran District, Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. He worked in the internal affairs bodies since April 1994.

I am often asked how I endured all this, - says Larisa. - I answer them that the Almighty helped, people helped, the children distracted, the mother-in-law was there. She was 82 at the time. It was hard to look at a mother who had lost her son. So I hid my grief deeper and continued to live for the sake of those who now needed my support. This is the daughter of Zareta, who was ten years old, eight-year-old Khava, seven-year-old Eset and the only son, Adam, who at that time was just two years old. The youngest Khadi was born after the death of her husband.

Since then, time has passed. It erases pain, but does not erase memory. The eldest daughters remember their father, remember the day of his funeral and the general national grief. Adam is soon 16 years old. He is preparing to enter one of the specialized secondary schools in Ingushetia. He cannot go far from his homeland, he must always be here with his mother and sisters. The grandmother has been dead for over five years. Zareta, Khava and Eset have already got their own families.

From the memoirs of Fatima Torshkhoeva (widow of a major of justice, senior investigator of the SO at the Nazran District Department of Internal Affairs Dzhabrail Akhmetovich Torshkhoev).

It was an unusually beautiful moonlit night, and it did not bode well for anything, - Fatima recalls her story. - The day before, my husband was on duty for the night, and the next day we intended to start repairing the bathroom. We went to our relatives, to negotiate with the workers. We sat up late at their place. When they were about to leave, they saw a bright young moon in the sky. “We need to look at her through money,” said Zarema, who was accompanying us, “then there will be prosperity and prosperity in the family.” And Dzhabrail took out a bill, looked through it at the moon and exclaimed: "Long live freedom!"

Two hours later he was gone.

Dzhabrail and Fatima lived in the Center-Kamaz area. When they returned home, an ambulance was stationed at the gate. As it turned out, my grandmother's blood pressure rose. When everything calmed down and the grandmother fell asleep, Fatima went to put the youngest Ilez to bed, he was only two and a half years old. Dzhabrail bathed his daughter Milana, he loved to do it himself, laid her down next to his mother and hurried out, taking a warm jacket with him. He wore jackets to hide his service weapon, so Fatima was alarmed. She ran after him and only now heard shots. As soon as Fatima tried to stop her husband, she cried, begged not to leave her with the children, pointed to the unborn child. A neighbor, who ran out to the shots, also tried to stop the car. But all is in vain. He was determined.

Without looking into my eyes, nervously scratching the back of his head, trying to somehow reassure me, he said that he would only find out what was there and would immediately come back, - recalls this fateful day Fatima.

They did not sleep all night. By morning, Fatima dozed off and woke up from the sound of helicopters flying over the city. Throwing on a handkerchief, she went out into the street. There was still no car in the yard. Ignoring the crowd near the house, she decided to distribute Sakha (alms). I went to one neighbor, then to another. Then a car drove up to the yard, and she heard a short phrase: "Dzhabrail is not present."

Fatima did not come to her senses for several hours. When she woke up, she saw before her the pale face of her father bending over her. He recently recovered from a heart attack. Fatima pulled herself together. It was as if she froze: she did not cry, did not moan, but retreated into herself. After the seventh night, the brother-in-law, Dzhabrail's older brother, took her to Kamchatka, where he worked.

Two months later, Fatima gave birth to a son, who was given the name of his father - Dzhabrail. She soon returned to her homeland. Milana's daughter slowly recoiled from the shock received at the moment when she saw the bloody body of her father. Only Ilez was careless. For a long time he still did not understand anything, ran out to meet all the men who somehow came to their house, and called them dads. Fatima all this time was supported by relatives, both their own and from her husband's side.

So they survived and grew up, - says Fatima. - Time passed like one long day.

Today Ilez is studying the fundamentals of Islam. He's very good at it. He dreams of becoming a theologian, and his mother is happy and proud of his spiritual aspirations. Jabrail, on the contrary, dreams of following in the footsteps of his father. As relics, he keeps the holster and belt that his father was on that tragic day, fit him and his things that he wears on special days, although he is only 14 years old. Milana, on the other hand, decided to devote herself to the most humane profession - she is a future medical worker, she will heal people and help those in need.

As for Fatima herself, she protects her hearth with prayers, rejoices at the victories of her children, upset at their failures, knows and is sure that they will never let her down, that they sacredly keep the memory of her father and protect her with their love.

“Sing a lullaby to me, mom, I’m the same, I haven’t matured at all,” these lines, which today sound especially touching, were recorded in the diary of police sergeant Magomed Dzeitov, who became another victim of this terrible tragedy. How many more died in these days and in those difficult times for the republic! They did not have time to grow up, they remained young, as we remember them, although their children have grown up long ago. Time slowly erases the pain of the events of that ill-fated day, but does not drown out the memory.

This year marks the 300th anniversary of the Russian Police and 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Republic of Ingushetia.

The celebration of the winter solstice (December 21) and the summer solstice are the oldest of the Slavic rituals. After the winter solstice - "the birth of a new sun" - daylight hours gradually begin to lengthen and night darkness begins to shorten.

Winter solstice December 21-22 is the day of the longest night. Longest night of the year and shortest day.

A magical time for us women to use the winter solstice to bring change, new energy, abilities and opportunities into our lives. This day is perfect for meditation, for rituals associated with the energy of water, as well as for new beginnings. You have the opportunity to radically change your personal life, achieve success in your career, improve your financial well-being, etc.

Rites and magical actions at the Solstice

We carry out a ritual for health, decorate a Christmas tree for welfare, an amulet to attract money and a talisman for the whole family from evil forces.
For the ceremonies, you need to prepare in advance by purchasing everything you need. Three days before and three days after are the most magical. Take advantage of them.

If the disease, despite all the efforts of the doctors, does not let go, try to resort to the ancient magical method of "tying" the disease.
The ritual is performed on the waning moon. We're in time, this month New Moon is December 29 at 9:53 am.

You will need a natural fiber cord, preferably unpainted. Keep the cord as close as possible to the part of the body where the disease is, and start tying knots - one on top of the other, so that one large knot is formed.

At the same time, read the conspiracy:

I impose a disease on a knot,
I tie the disease to a knot,
I tie the disease to a knot,
I drive the disease into a knot,
I fix the disease in a knot,
I attach the disease to the knot.
The disease in the knot is the health in me.
May it be so.
Amen.

You should read so that there is a knot for each line.
Next, the cord should be buried in the ground, saying: "The rope will rot - health will come!"
If it is difficult to bury something, put the cord in a flower pot, cover it with earth - and take it out of the house. It is very important to take the pot through the intersection and leave it there. You must leave in silence, without looking back. Do not say a word until you cross the threshold of your home.

At the time when the new is born, all knots must be untied, all fetters must be removed. Remember this - those who celebrate should be light and free from the attachments and fixations that have accumulated for a whole year.

Decorating a Christmas tree or evergreen tree

An important tradition of the holiday is the decoration of an evergreen tree. Among the decorations are always the Sun and the Moon, symbols of God and Goddess, day and night light.

The stars (on strings or clips) surround the tree with twinkling and the tree seems to float in the dark between the worlds, becoming a symbol of the World Tree.

As a sign of connection with generations of ancestors and descendants, as a symbol of the souls of a celebrating family, angels or other winged figures are hung on the tree. Do not forget about the gatherings of fairies on the branches.

Small bundles of gifts and traditional glass balls are symbols of our wishes, which we make on the longest night. Toys in the form of a cornucopia or a bunch of grapes are a guarantee of a house-full bowl and full bowls that are drunk to the glory of gods and spirits at night.

Ritual of well-being

Decorate the tree with golden cones and green and red Christmas tree garlands and rain. Buy a large red candle ahead of time.

Prepare dinner for the whole family, including meat and vegetable dishes and bread. As you cook, be sure to stir each dish 13 times clockwise in the old tradition for natural growth.

Place green and red candles in the room where you will have dinner and light them, and turn off the electric light. Place a red candle in the center of the table and place 9 nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds and coins around it to symbolize the gifts of the earth, small particles of earth and the metals of the earth.

Blow out all the candles one by one and salute the darkness to be overcome by the light.

- In the dark, I am in the bosom of Mother Earth, whose gifts surround the New Year's candle, signifying the cycle of beginning and end, death and birth, for everything there is a time and season, decrease before growth, loss before increase, lack before abundance.

Think calmly in the dark, allowing images of the future to appear in your thoughts. When you're ready, say:

- The light returns and life is with it. The sun has not died, it has only dozed off and will be born again with Mother Earth, as I light this flame.

Light a red candle and from it light again all the other candles in turn saying: Light from light, life from life, may our prosperity grow.

Eat a few nuts, raisins, and seeds to increase wealth in your life. Tell:

- I take strength from Mother Earth in the growing light of the sun and believe in the growth of my prosperity.

While in the candlelight, let optimism fill your soul.

Believe in your future, as the ancient people firmly believed that after winter, spring will come, and the sun and warmth will return. Eat your dinner with the whole family by candlelight.

Amulet for a year

We do it on the night of December 21-22. On the longest night of the year - before the winter solstice. To do this, you need to gather your whole family at a set table.

The table should be set so that you no longer have to bring and put new dishes, tea, cake - everything should be at once.
You have to sit down at the table at any time, from sunset until 22:55.

Collect snow in a beautiful earthenware, metal or crystal dish just before you sit down at the table. In this dish we put any items that will play the role of amulets for each of your loved ones: rings, bracelets, beads, etc. And we also put in the dishes pre-prepared sprigs of rowan and pine. We light a white candle and strengthen it in the snow in this dish. You can fix it in advance at the bottom with plasticine.

A couple of moments before the candle touches the water, take your object and dry it in your hands or press it to your body. Then those who live in this house walk around the house clockwise 3 times. Walk around inside. The amulet is ready for everyone. Your home is protected from evil forces.

These amulets will keep you, your loved ones and your home throughout the year.
Pour melted water over the threshold. Those who live in the entrances pour water over the threshold of the entrance.

On the winter solstice, make an amulet to attract money.

You will need: 9 coins, 6 small green candles with a wide base, a tray made of copper or any other shiny metal, dry basil, a piece of green silk.

Create a circle of green candles on a tray and place 9 coins inside the circle. Light the candles, starting from the north, saying:

- From this day on, the day arrives, pouring rain on my money. With sunshine, let wealth come!

Leaving the coins in the center, slide the candles so that they almost touch and the wax will drip onto the coins. Let the candles burn out to the end. When the wax has hardened, cut out a disc with coins inside and sprinkle dry basil on it to attract wealth. Leave the amulet where light will fall on it for one day and one night, then wrap it in green silk and hide it where you keep the documents.

Good luck, love and fulfillment of desires!

Night from 21 to 22 December - Novoletie, Slavic New Year. On the evening of December 21, the universe begins to perish. According to ancient beliefs, everything perishes - stars, planets, the Sun, the Universe itself. Our ancestors were afraid of this. They were afraid that the old Sun would perish and the gods would not create a new one. Therefore, the gods were helped with 120 lights. In all ancient religions (Slavic, Indian Vedic, Greek, Roman, Celtic and others) there were 120 gods.48 gods of the inner circle (in man they are embodied by 48 energy meridians, 48 ​​elements of gene records, 48 ​​moral qualities, etc.) and 72 gods of the outer circle (in man they are embodied by 72 archetypes of the collective unconscious, 72 life situations etc.) - together they made 120. The same number of Archangels in esoteric Christianity, and ruling spirits in witchcraft grimoires. To help each Deity, a candle was lit (option: a splinter, a bowl, a bonfire), a total of 120 lights were obtained. Helping the gods create a new universe, and lighting fires, the ancestors wanted their desires to be fulfilled in the new universe. Therefore, that night it was necessary to conceive from 300 to 500 wishes. How? First, they formed a picture: mentally they saw their desire already fulfilled. Then they really wanted it. And then they sang the names of the gods until the desire and the picture disappear into space. And so 300-500 times. In the morning, everyone was already very tired, both with fear of the end of the world (what if the sun does not rise?), And exhausted by making wishes. And when the Sun rose, exhaustion gave way to fullness of strength, fear - to joy. "Hooray! There will be a New Universe and our desires will come true in it ”. A powerful holiday began, which lasted until December 25.

... Somewhere on December 21, between 22 and 23 o'clock local time, a black funnel appears in the sky, which begins to draw everything into itself.

December:
December 1 was the day of the Fairy of Winter. The Slavs, like other peoples of the Eurasian continent, have a concept of fairies. Fairies were thought of as the elemental spirits of the elements of Time. And since all the other elements appeared from the element of Time, the fairies are endowed with power over them. The legend recorded by ethnographers says that the Fairy of Winter on this day can
easily meet in the forest as a rider on a white horse. She can even stop, talk to a person, find out his desire and fulfill it. Slavic magicians knew how to summon the fairy of Winter with a ritual. Also on this day, gifts for the Fairy were carried to the forest and in the field. It was believed that whoever carried the gift would easily survive the winter cold without loss.

December 4 is the day of the Great Mother's Day of Light. Zarnitsy in ancient Slavic mythology were considered independent intelligent beings, spirits, which is confirmed by the constant appeal to them for help in conspiracies and whispers. On this day, magic was performed
actions for harmony and healing rituals.

December 5 is the day of laying roads. Rituals for opening paths are timed to it. Obviously, this is connected with the fact that New Year's fortune-telling is opened on the night of December 5-6. In those parts where the rivers were frozen, roads were laid with the help of sleds.

December 6 was the Day of the King of Time, 4 fairies, 4 seasons and 12 months. The King of Time was subsequently transformed into the known to us Santa Claus. They also honored the great God Veles. The tale of 12 months gives an idea of ​​the ritual for this day. 12 people seated around the fire move clockwise until they occupy
original position.

On December 7 and 8, Bereginya was revered. Bereginya is known to us in two forms: as the Guardian Goddess and as the spirit of the elements (feminine) living along the banks of rivers and lakes.

On December 9, magical actions are performed with the Great Serpent of gravity. Remember the Indian snake Anantu-Sheshanga, on which in the world ocean
Krishna and Vishnu float, and who is responsible for the law of attraction in the universe, and which gives yogis the ability to fly. Also remember about the same ancient Slavic snake Yusha (later transformed into the Miracle Yudo Fish-Kit? On December 9, ritual actions with this power are performed.

December 10 was considered auspicious for wish fulfillment rituals. Lighted candles to fulfill wishes.

December 13 is the best day for fortune telling. A lot of mantics. On this day, the church celebrates the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. The etymology of the name of this Apostle can be easily traced. The Indo-Iranian god of thunder, lightning and thunder Indra turned into Andre, just in the process of moving the name to Europe capital letter And in the name she turned into A.
Since many events are believed to be written in heaven, who else, if not the heavenly god, should reveal them?

14 is an auspicious day to start any teaching.

On December 17, all Goddesses (feminine) were worshiped. 7 loaves were prepared for them. Breads were offered to the Gods and then eaten by the believers. During the entire action, 13 candles should have been lit on the table.

On December 18, all the Gods (masculine) were worshiped. 7 loaves were prepared for them. Breads were offered to the Gods and then eaten by the believers. During the entire action, 13 candles should have been lit on the table.

On December 19, the Great God Veles was worshiped. It was believed that on this day Veles can take the form of a person, come as a guest to the house and give gifts. On the same day, the goddess of fertility (and witchcraft) Vala was worshiped. The church devotes the same day to the celebration of St. Nicholas, however, during the time of dual faith in Russia, the images of Veles and Nicholas are so
merged, that in the popular imagination they became one supernatural being (as evidenced by the signs of Veles, applied by the icon painters to the cloak of St. Nicholas).

On December 20, both Gods and Goddesses were honored together, as a Single Whole, constituting the Absolute Deity (Rod among the Slavs, Adibrahman in India).

One of the turning points in people's lives is the Winter Solstice, which falls on December 21-22. The sun enters the sign of Capricorn ... It is a holiday that marks the moment when the sun is reborn. The Feast of Winter and the veneration of ancestors, the day of the winter solstice. The triumph of great darkness, the most turning day of the year, the holiday of the revival of the Sun ...

The rituals of this day express a desire to help the sun, to change your path in the sky ... During the day, rituals related to the element of water are held. Time for meditation, for discovering new abilities ... This day marks the point in the year when the sun returns, so sorcerers burn candles and bonfires, inviting the sunlight to return. On this day, it is customary to leave the lights on in the house or a lighted candle on. For modern sorcerers, it is a reminder of the cycle of rebirth.
It is good to use the time of the Winter Solstice ritual to attract new energies, beginnings, influences into your life.
Moreover, you can not limit yourself in exactly where these undertakings will be; in business, career, personal life ... The energy of this time will help you find something new, important, what you most need ...
If your life is not to your liking, then the Rituals of the Winter Solstice will allow you to turn the situation around ... The ceremonies have exceptional power and capabilities. Fate, Love, Money, Career - this is not a complete list of what can be done with the help of the Rites during the Winter Solstice. But it is better to entrust the execution of the Rituals to a SPECIALIST than to try to do it yourself ... Although, if you wish, you can perform most of the rituals associated with the Winter Solstice on your own ... During the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere of the Earth, the Sun remains the least above the horizon. December 21 and 22 are the shortest days of the year. December 21-22 is the longest night.
The days around the winter solstice are the best days of the year when you can really change your destiny. That is, to be reborn in the same way as the Sun. Three days before and three after is energetically charged time. Strong currents of energy descend to the Earth, which activate the matrix of creation. At this time, you need to mentally or in meditation get rid of everything unnecessary, obsolete, both in your home and in your soul. You can write on paper whatever you want to get rid of and burn it.

After that, it is very favorable to make plans for the whole year (preferably to write in a notebook), make wishes, use intention, conduct meditations for yourself and for the whole Earth. All this will have special strength due to the natural rhythms of nature.

And on December 22 in the morning, try to meet the sunrise and congratulate him on his birth, thank him for everything that it gives us.

On the day of the winter solstice, the light embodied in the Sun begins to rise from the very depths, highlighting the axis on which all the layers of being are strung. The turn that takes place in the very center of the night of the year has a special power, joining which, all living things will begin their ascent to manifestation.

The day should not pass "as usual", put a little more of your energy into it, manifest yourself in it a little brighter than yesterday. Do something in it that your hands have never been able to reach before. But this business should not be cumbersome, it should not take a lot of energy out of you. Only to feel that there are a little more of them and be sure to get joy from it.

The solstice opens the zodiac sign of Capricorn, the sign of the formation of goals. On this day, you definitely need to find time in order to touch the depths of your life. Move away from the superficial everyday vanity and pay attention to what is happening inside you, in life. And starting from this foundation, find what your ideas are waiting to be born, implemented, what is ready to become a plan for the future. In this way, you will fill them with the power of the growing Sun.

And one more interesting point. Everyone knows: "What do you call a yacht, so it will float." As you start a business, so it will go on. How New Year or meet your birthday - this will be the next year. The beginning of any cycle paints its future with thin but firm strokes. At any beginning, as in a clock, a spiral is coiled that will unwind the entire course of development, release the energy of this beginning.

The rhythm of the annual circle is associated with the number 12: 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 months, 12 stages of the unfolding of this cycle. And the first 12 days are symbolically associated with the 12 months of the year. There is an opportunity to talk with twelve month-old brothers who have gathered at the same time around the New Year's fire. To see their small circle, when, in the middle of winter, February passes the staff to March, that to April, etc.

But there are many options for what to consider as the beginning. Let's try to figure it out. You can count it in different ways, primarily from the solstice itself - the central space event, from which all other dates of the winter holidays originated. You can take 12 days from the generally accepted New Year, which is often advised - I am sure it will also work.

These are all "beginnings", each in its own frame of reference. There is one more “beginning” that was noted by the ancients during this special period of the year. This is December 25, Spiridon-Pivot in the national calendar, after 12 days after which they judged the weather of each of the twelve months: December 26 corresponds to January, December 27 to February, and so on.

According to tradition, Kolyada (late Christmas) is celebrated not on the very day of the solstice. And this date has its own physical meaning. By winter, the sun rises lower and lower above the horizon. And during and after the solstice, for several days, the height of the Sun above the horizon does not change - it seems to stand still, freezes. And only after December 25, the day "on a passerine gallop" will arrive, the ascent of the Sun, which has turned to summer, becomes visible (!). Kolyada is followed by 12 Christmastide days, 12 Holy days, symbolizing twelve months of the year (the day of Kolyada itself is not included in the number of Christmastide).

All cards are in hand, choose the date from which you can start your entry into the small circle of months behind your basket of snowdrops. At the winter solstice - the true turn of the Sun, along a path coming from the very core of this world, in which there will always be hidden from the obvious, unlimited depth. Or after the ancient Kolyada - together with the growing day, when the process of the birth of the Sun becomes visible, it is embodied in more explicit, understandable, earthly forms. Well, or starting from the first day of the New Year - the beginning of the year accepted by society, the general collective rhythms in which one way or another we all live, but where there is very little room for the truly personal.

So, the first day will correspond to January, the second to February, etc. You just need to be careful, filter out what is happening "as always and with everyone" these days and what is your personal, special. Even just a general condition that began in the morning can be distinctive for each day. Whether it is restless, tense or joyful, overflowing with energy. In what rhythm the day passed, whether it flew by instantly or was extended in time, even or overflowing with events. Any accident that attracts attention, the symbolism of everyday events can be symbolic.

If you are planning something for a specific month, try reading these symbols in this meaning.
On the other hand, by our reaction, we correct them, lay personal participation in them, the level of quality and readiness to solve them.

If you are faced with a problem, do not just leave it, pay attention to it, decide in the most successful way available, or figure out how to best solve it in the future. Once you solve the little problem (and finally fix the frame on your family photo), you’ll be ready for the big solution later. Do not succumb to negative provocations, stop yourself from responding in kind, catch this process and conduct it at a high level.

And the main thing! Do not turn all of the above into titanic work and constant stress, instead of holidays! This is a game of the flame of the New Year's bonfire, this is a cheerful round dance of mummers, where symbols of the coming year are hidden under masks, wonder how children can, revealing their secrets. And then the year will be generous with gifts.

December 21 is the day of the winter solstice, after which the astronomical winter will come in the Northern Hemisphere. This day is considered the shortest of the year, so the night from 21 to 22 December will be the longest.

01 What is the winter solstice and when does it come?

The winter solstice is an astronomical event when the Earth tilts as far away as possible from the Sun. On the day of the winter solstice, astronomical winter begins in the northern hemisphere of the planet. In 2017, the winter solstice will occur on December 21 at 19.28 Moscow time. After it, the day will gradually increase, and the night will decrease.

According to astronomers, on this day, the Sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest, describing the shortest arc in the sky. Over the capital of Russia, the Sun will rise above the horizon at 8.57 and set at 15.58 Moscow time, the duration of daylight hours will be 7 hours. For example, on the summer solstice, June 22, daylight hours in Moscow lasts 17 hours 34 minutes, writes RIA Novosti.

On the day of the winter solstice, the height of the Sun above the horizon at noon will be 11 degrees. It is reported that on December 21 at noon, the lowest position of the Sun above the horizon in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth can be observed.

03 How was this day “celebrated” in ancient times?

In Russia, a special rite was associated with this day. The bell-ringing headman of the Kremlin, who was in charge of the chimes, went to bow to the tsar. He announced that the sun had turned for summer: the day was increasing and the night was decreasing. On frosty days, our ancestors made gifts to each other, went to carols, jumped over the fire, and danced in circles.

04 What beliefs are associated with this day?

The winter solstice was used to judge the future harvest. If there is frost on the trees, then there will be a rich harvest. In Russia, they said: "On the winter solstice, the bear in the den turns over - it turns from one side to the other", as well as "The cold winter lasts due to the bear's will: the bear in the den will turn on the other side - in winter half of the way is left until spring."

The vernal equinox is a unique natural phenomenon, when in all countries day is almost equal to night.

In 2017, the vernal equinox was on March 20. On this day, the Earth, revolving around its axis, was in such a position in relation to the luminary that the sun's rays fell vertically on the equator. During this phenomenon, the Sun moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern one.

The vernal and autumnal equinoxes are considered the astronomical beginning of the respective seasons. The time interval between two equinoxes of the same name is called a tropical year, which practically coincides with the length of an ordinary year. These two phenomena should be distinguished from the winter and summer solstices: the first indicates the beginning of an astronomical winter, and the second - an astronomical summer. During the summer solstice, people can observe a long day and a short night.
