Around AD 238 the Roman writer Censorinus called it the “birth of the Sun”. By the fourth century, a Roman calendar known as the Chronograph of 354 marked 25 December as \u003cem\u003eNatalis Invicti\u003c\/em\u003e, the birthday of the Unconquered One. The same document is also the earliest surviving record of Christ’s birth being kept on that date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome five thousand years ago, the builders of Newgrange in Ireland set a stone passage so that, on the mornings around the winter solstice, the rising sun shines through a small opening above the entrance and lights the inner chamber for roughly seventeen minutes. Whatever its builders believed, they made a dark room that waits all year for one beam of returning light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the one who keeps something unfinished safe, and trusts it to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: 12 × 16 in \/ 16 × 20 in (vertical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack solid-pine frame, matte finish; clear plexiglass front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte paper print; no mat.
