"In astronomy, the solstice is either of the two times a year when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, the great circle on the celestial sphere that is on the same plane as the earth's equator. In the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs either December 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn; the summer solstice occurs either June 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Cancer. In the Southern Hemisphere, the winter and summer solstices are reversed."
"I'm cool with the pagan thing...It's quite obvious there was a reason our Christmas and Easter fall on the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox...."
So, please explain why the statement above was made. Could it have been something God planned, that Christ be born at that time for a reason like the pagen said?
