<\/p>\n

December 21 is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, followed by the long-awaited return of light. In ancient times, this day was considered magical in Rus’ and marked a turning point when darkness gives way to light.<\/h4>\n

How was the winter solstice celebrated in Rus’?
\n\u2022 Our ancestors believed that after this day the sun is \u201cborn again,\u201d and the arrival of light brings renewal and hope.
\n\u2022 People held feasts, lit fires and candles to help the sun \u201cdefeat\u201d the darkness.
\n\u2022 Children and adults dressed up in bright clothes, sang songs and danced in circles to drive away winter and bring spring closer.
\n\u2022 They decorated their houses with spruce branches, symbolizing eternal life, and left treats as a token of gratitude to the forces of nature.<\/h4>\n

Why is it important to celebrate the winter solstice outdoors?
\nA walk in the gardens in winter is a special way to feel a connection with nature, its cycles and beauty. The Summer and Mikhailovsky Gardens turn into a real fairy tale in winter:
\n\u2022 Silence and tranquility help to escape from the hustle and bustle.
\n\u2022 Fresh air and winter sun energize.
\n\u2022 Natural beauty inspires and creates a festive mood.<\/h4>\n

Celebrate the winter solstice among the majestic trees, snow-white cover and architectural harmony of the gardens of the Russian Museum. This is a great way to celebrate an ancient holiday and prepare for a new solar cycle!<\/h4>\n
