Autumn Equinox Is Celebrated At Stonehenge

WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 23: Druids, pagans and revellers gather at Stonehenge, hoping to see the sun rise, as they take part in autumn equinox celebrations at the ancient neolithic monument of Stonehenge near Amesbury on September 23, 2017 in Wiltshire, England. Several hundred people gathered at sunrise ar the famous historic stone circle, a UNESCO listed ancient monument, to celebrate the equinox which is a specific moment in time that occurs twice a year when the Earth tilts neither towards (summer) or away (winter) from the sun in either the northern or southern hemisphere. Although yesterday marked the actual meteorological calendar change from summer to autumn, for druids, the following dawn is when they celebrate 'the dawning of the new season' following the day of equal night, which it is named after.
