Stonehenge Winter Solstice

The Stonehenge Winter Solstice is a sacred ceremony with deep ancestral routes where Druids and Pagans gather to celebrate the passing of the shortest day of the year. Historically the passing of winter was recognised and celebrated more than the passing of summer due to the hardships that were faced in the winter with short, colder days and less food to eat with crops unable to grow. I documented the Winter Solstice by engaging with my subjects and learning who they are and what the Solstice means to them.
