Since prehistory, the winter, or hibernal solstice has been a significant time of year in many cultures and has been marked by festivals and rites. In parts of Europe it was seen as the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun… Some ancient monuments such as NewgrangeStonehenge, and Cahokia Woodhenge are aligned with the sunrise or sunset on the winter solstice.
