		When it's winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is directly overhead at noon only along the Tropic of Capricorn, on which lie such places as Sao Paulo, Brazil, southern Madagascar, and areas north of Brisbane, Australia.
		Winter solstice was overlaid with Christmas, and the observance of Christmas spread throughout the globe.
		Solstices were tremendously important to them, and the winter solstice celebration lasted several days.
