Happy solstice, for those who celebrate it.... it doesn't work for me, per se, but I respect the choices of others to follow their own spiritual paths.

A useful link for those inclined to planetary movement-based holidays (solstice, equinoxes, etc) is here, with tables of dates and UTC times of each from 1992-2020.

*Lots* of cultures celebrate the Solistice, not just neo-pagans.

JCI holidays tend to be commemorations of specific points of religious history, but a lot of non-JCI religions have "cycle of the year" celebrations.
