About the the Winter Solstice, as said in a previous thread, the Sun cult was followed among the Romans since their early times.<br>
It was connected to Ianus: the celebration of the summer solstice and winter solstice were called “Ianua inferiâ€ÂÂ

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...

I've forgot the translation of the last text in arcaic latin:<br>
<br>
Sing the Father of the Gods<br>
Enter the Gods concept of the light<br>
When you light-giver thunder<br>
In front of you the Men fear, wherever they are<br>
The Men, the shining entities and all the Sea<br>
Sun! Father of anything!<br>
He that closes and opens, you are Ianus, the doors guardian<br>
The best among all the Gods and the men!<br>
<br>
