All Broadwindsor’s Advent Windows

As stockings are being hung on Christmas Eve, here are all the Advent windows which were assigned to and displayed by the villagers of Broadwindsor. The creativity and imagination shown was both incredible and beautiful.  Well done to Rev. Jo for coming up with the idea, to all those who participated and thank you to Margery Hookings for providing most of the photographs.  It is certainly going to be a Christmas that no one will forget where they were or what they were doing! Stay Safe.

Please enjoy Broadwindsor’s Advent Windows 2020….

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Full Moon on Wednesday, 30th December

The last Full Moon of the decade is known as The Cold Moon. This is a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions of this time of year, when cold weather truly begins to grip us. This Full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rose during the “longest” nights of the year.

Ancient pagans called the December Full Moon the “Moon Before Yule,” in honour of the Yuletide festival celebrating the return of the sun heralded by winter solstice.

December’s Full Moon shines above the horizon for a longer period of time than most Full Moons.  There is an old saying “If a snowstorm begins when the Moon is young, it will cease at moonrise.”

This Full Moon will rise over the horizon just before sunset on the 30th December. Until the end of the year, Jupiter and Saturn, very bright and beautiful, will still be visible just after sunset, although they sit low in the South West sky.
Throughout December, Venus in its faster orbit around the sun will be going farther and farther away from Earth but being the brightest planet, it is still visible in the morning sky.

Happy Winter Solstice

The winter solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun.  This astronomically marks the beginning of lengthening days and shortening nights 🙂

The solstice is usually celebrated with festivals, spending time with loved ones, feasting, singing, dancing and fires – most of which is disallowed under current Government restrictions.  People were told not to travel to Stonehenge as they would not be allowed access.

There is the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn to observe which was in an earlier post:

A Christmas Star On The Solstice

And, of course we now look forward to lengthening days and shorter nights.

Happy Solstice.
