The winter solstice, the darkest day of the year in the northern latitudes, occurs on this date virtually every year at the longitude of Portland. December 22 is sometimes given as the date of this solstice, but that is because the exact moment is calculated for what is now called "Universal Time," once called "Greenwich Mean Time." In the years 1992 to 2020 the winter solstice would fall on the 22nd on the west coast of North America only in 1995, and even then it occurred only at seventeen minutes past midnight Pacific Standard Time.

June 21st - This date by tradition marks the summer solstice, and the solstice in fact occurs on this date (at least as calculated in Universal Time--once known as Greenwich Mean Time) in most years. While the solstice occurred on a different date in the calendar used by Edmund Spenser in the late sixteenth century, his poem "Epithalamion" follows the events, real and imaginary, of his wedding day which took place on the summer solstice.
