Pagan rituals and swimming in Antarctic waters: What's the winter solstice all about? | June 21, 2022 | ACM

The word 'solstice' comes from two Latin root words 'sol' and 'sistere'. It means 'sun' (sol, as in where we derive 'solar') and 'to stand still' (sistere). Literally meaning, when the sun stands still.
