About December Solstice

The December Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a significant astronomical event that has been observed for centuries as a shift toward returning light. In Afghanistan, it holds historical importance in the context of seasonal changes and traditional cultural practices.
