Both embody the great sustaining Light that ever nurtures and inspires. I invite you to reflect on these verses from the Rig Veda as a way to honor the glorious radiance in the sky that is Earth’s sun-and also to honor the radiance that is your own Self, an inner “sun” that is revealed in the meditative pauses of your breathing. It’s as if Earth were breathing in consonance with its sun, and this pause of the solstice is not unlike the sacred pause between the in-breath and the out-breath-that moment when our mind settles in meditation, and we find entranceway into the experience of the light of the supreme Self. In the Latin, sol means “sun” and the root stit means “standing,” suggesting that in these moments the sun seems to be standing still. The word solstice from its Latin origin gives us insight into how this moment has been perceived through the ages. The days begin to lengthen again-indeed, a cause for celebration. In the moment of the solstice’s perfect alignment of planet and sun, a reversal takes place. Up to then, the days have been getting shorter and shorter as night encroaches on daylight ever earlier in the afternoon. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice takes place on December 21. Conversely, when the North Pole comes closest to the sun in June, the advent of summer and winter is experienced in the opposite way in each hemisphere. Given the way Earth tilts, there is an exact moment in December when the South Pole comes closest to the sun, signaling the advent of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. On our planet’s annual journey circling the sun, there are two specific moments that particularly inspire reflection and celebration-the solstices of June and December. Its all-encompassing presence in our lives inspires us through the reliable rhythms of its coming and going, through its uncompromising generosity and steady brilliance. Its life-giving rays warm us and nourish the plants that feed us. With each new morning, it unfolds the world anew. In every sort of way, the sun supports and sustains us. Since Vedic times the sun has been venerated as Lord Surya.

Knowing that this splendid display of luminosity takes place every day throughout our planet, one can appreciate why the authors of the Rig Veda, the earliest scriptural composition of India, praise and honor the sun.

How did you feel on seeing the glimmer of the first rays gradually spread in all directions, filling the world with an ocean of light? A golden sea-wash gilds everything in front of you: clouds, trees, rooftops. Along with Mary she is revered as one of the four perfect women. She is also described as, Al Zahra, the radiant one.
Recall a morning when you watched the sun rise over the horizon. Fatima is sometimes associated with Mary, mother of Jesus and Fatima is also called, The Queen of Heaven.
