Iranian people celebrate the night of the Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice as, " Yalda night", which is known to be the "longest and darkest night of the year". Yalda night celebration, or as some call it "Shabe Chelleh" ("the 40th night"), is one of the oldest Iranian traditions that has been present in Persian culture from ancient times. In this night all the family gather together, usually at the house of the eldest, and celebrate it by eating, drinking and reciting poetry (esp. Hafez).

In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the December solstice (usually 21 or 22 December) and in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the June solstice (usually 20 or 21 of June).

The term midwinter is also used synonymously with the winter solstice, although it carries other meanings as well. Traditionally, in many temperate regions, the winter solstice is seen as the middle of winter; although today in some countries and calendars it is seen as the beginning of winter. Other names are the "extreme of winter" ( Dongzhi), or the "shortest day". Bass, Charles O. (1994). Astronomy Essentials. Research & Education Assoc. p.35. ISBN 978-0-87891-965-9 .

During the time of the Summer solstice, it’s a time to celebrate forward movement – advancing further into light – and remembering and honoring the intrinsic light within yourself. The start of winter and the start of summer each occur on a solstice. There are two solstices each year—one in December and one in June. A solstice is a moment in the year when the Sun’s apparent path in the sky is farthest north or south from Earth’s Equator. At the solstice, the tilt of Earth toward the Sun is at a maximum angle in one hemisphere and a minimum angle in the other.
