Since prehistory, the winter solstice has been a significant time of year in many cultures and has been marked by festivals and rituals.[8] It marked the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun;[9][10][11] the gradual waning of daylight hours is reversed and begins to grow again. Some ancient monuments such as Newgrange, Stonehenge, and Cahokia Woodhenge are aligned with the sunrise or sunset on the winter solstice.
