Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
Among the most celebrated of the festivals of the ancients was that in honour of the return of the sun, which at the winter solstice begins gradually to regain power, and to ascend apparently in the horizon.
Previously to this the year was drawing to a close, and the world was typically considered to be in the same state.
The promised restoration of light and commencement of a new aera were therefore hailed with rejoicings and thanksgivings.
