Summer Solstice
21st June.
The word ‘solstice’ comes from the Latin words for sun (sol) and to stand (sistere).
The stones near Amesbury at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, that were set up in about 2500 BC, were carefully designed to align with the movements of the sun. Standing in the centre of the monument at summer solstice, the sun rises just to the left of a large standing stone outside the stone circle, known as the Heel Stone, seen through a gap in the outer sarsen circle.
