• The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.

• Now, near the Winter Solstice, it is good to light candles. All the nice meanings of bringing light to the world can be beautiful. But perhaps we are concentrating on lighting the world because we don't know how to light up our own lives.

• That's what Hanukkah is about: trying to survive the darkness on the far-fetched hope there's still some life and light left in the universe. It's more than just a religious story. The days have been growing shorter, imperceptibly but inescapably darker.... Heading into the night of the winter solstice, every spiritual tradition has some kind of festival of light. We're all just whistling in the dark, hoping against hope that someone up there will see these little Hanukkah candles and get the hint.

• The Romans had, like other Pagan nations, a nature festival, called by them Saturnalia, and the Northern peoples had Yule; both celebrated the turn of the year from the death of winter to the life of spring - the winter solstice. As this was an auspicious change the festival was a very joyous one... The giving of presents and the burning of candles characterized it. Among the Northern people the lighting of a huge log in the houses of the great and with appropriate ceremonies was a feature.

  Samuel L. Jackson

• Each solstice is a domain of experience unto itself. At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.

• La Biblia cristiana es un libro simbólico, no literal. El que los cristianos conocen como Jesús era en realidad un símbolo del sol. Los antiguos adoradores del sol creían que el sol moría al final del solsticio de invierno y tres días después renacía al comienzo de su ciclo: el 25 de diciembre.

• Nico di Angelo entró en el Olimpo con una bienvenida de héroe, con su padre justo detrás de él, a pesar de que se suponía que Hades sólo visitaba el Olimpo en el solsticio de invierno. El Dios de los muertos pareció atónito cuando sus parientes le dieron una palmada en la espalda. Dudo que alguna vez le hubieran dado una bienvenida tan entusiasta.

  Rick Riordan
