Whether or not it\u2019s intentionally celebrated, the winter solstice is recognized around the world. On a calendar, December 21 marks the beginning of the winter season. But more importantly, it marks the beginning of daytime hours becoming longer. After months of shortened days, the extra sunlight is always warmly welcomed.<\/p>\n

Here in the \u201cMundo Maya\u201d (Maya World) winter solstice is especially important. With the sun being a deity and treated as a living being, the tracking of the sun was their way of understanding the universe. The date was and still is celebrated as a symbol of renewal. They were comforted in knowing that spring was not far off and every day in the upcoming season would be longer than the last.<\/p>\n
