Hello David,

       ok.. here's the way it was explained to me......

       by driving a stick into the ground, the length of the shadow
       can be tracked, thus marking the approach of the solstice.. as
       the sun gets lower and lower every day, the shadow gets longer
       and longer.... the sun seems to be slowly disappearing.....
       then one day, the shadow stays they same length... and the next
       day the shadow is shorter.. .. these correspond to the 21st,
       22nd, and 23rd... the next day the shadow is for SURE shorter,
       thus marking the "return of the sun" (SON?!?!)  the 24, and the
       next day word goes out and the event is celebrated... the
       25th...

       the christians, being unable to STOP pagan celebrations took
       over that day for their one of their most holy days. ...

       Easter is the pagan fertilty rights day.... another
       celebration that the christians co-opted.
