Ancient sites like Newgrange in Ireland celebrated the winter solstice with limited visitors and live streams.

The winter solstice, marking the shortest day of the year, was celebrated at ancient sites like Newgrange in Ireland, where a Neolithic tomb aligns with the sun's light. Newgrange, over 5,000 years old, saw limited visitors chosen by lottery, with others watching via live stream. Navan Fort, another site, hosted lantern-lit processions and meditations, highlighting cultural and historical significance. These events symbolize reflection, renewal, and hope as the days start to grow longer.
