When the Sun rises, the chamber is flooded with sunlight on the Winter Solstice. What Stonehenge is for Alban Hefin (The Druid festival for The Summer Solstice), Newgrange is for Alban Arthan. The site consists of a large circular mound with a stone passageway and interior chambers.

The birth of the New Sun is thought to revive the Earth’s aura in mystical ways, giving a new lease on life to spirits and souls of the dead. It marks the moment in time when the Old Sun dies (at dusk on the 21st of December) and when the Sun of the New Year is born (at dawn on the 22nd of December), framing the longest night of the year. In Druidic traditions, the Winter Solstice is thought of as a time of death and rebirth when Nature’s powers and our own souls are renewed. Welsh for “Light of Winter,” Alban Arthan is a universal festival, which has been (and still is) celebrated by many people and is probably the oldest seasonal festival of humankind. The Sun’s gradual decrease in the sky reverses upon the winter solstice, marking what many cultures believe to be a “rebirth” of the Sun as the hours of daylight become longer. So what does that mean, exactly? Upon the winter solstice, the Sun appears at its lowest in the sky, and its noontime elevation seems to stay the same for several days before and after this day. The term “solstice” comes from the Latin words sol (Sun) and sistere (to stand still) because, during the solstice, the angle between the Sun’s rays and the plane of the Earth’s equator (called declination) appears to stand still.

The University of California, Riverside (UCR) will be hosting this year’s statewide Students of Color Conference! This year’s theme will be about educational justice.
Our primary goal for the conference is to create an inclusive space for community engagement from students of color from all backgrounds. The Students of Color Conference provides a forum for individuals to discuss, explore and educate themselves regarding a wide array of issues affecting people of color (POC). SOCC is UCSA’s oldest and largest conference, providing a safe space for students of color and their allies to strategize around statewide and campus-based actions. The Students of Color Conference (SOCC) is the annual University of California Student Association (UCSA) event where members come together to engage and challenge students of color and their allies to address issues of structural and cultural inequalities.
