I am planning to stay up all night from Thursday Dec 21 through Friday morning Dec 22 fasting and praying. What would you do?

The solstice this year begins on Dec. 22 at 7:22pm EST (eastern standard time - US) and at 0:22AM UT (universal time) in the Northern Hemisphere. The ancient traditions vary, but all have the following common denominators: gathering with friends/family to celebrate together, lighting a fire or candles. The Romans had a huge feast - so why not invite your friends/family over for a big candle lit dinner or nosh by the fireplace? Don't sit alone fasting - that would be totally against the meaning of the solstice celebrations.

I myself am not too familiar with the actual original Winter Solstice traditions.
I have my last finals on December 22nd.

I am going to an ancient Celtic well nearby and thinking about the coming of light into the world and hoping for it in my own life x

find out the exact time of the solstice, and perform a candle-lighting ceremony at that time.

Blah, blah ,blah, blah. How many times are you people going to ask the same, lame question? Read Proverbs 9:10

I have to work. You must have a great life that you don't have to.
