Unconquered Sun

[Steeleye Span / Ken Nicol]

This song was sung by Ken Nicol on Steeleye Span's CD Winter. He commented in the album's sleeve notes:

In the northern latitudes, midwinter's day, or mid winter solstice, has been an important time for celebration throughout the ages. On this shortest day of the year, the sun is at its lowest and weakest, a pivot point from which the light will grow stronger and brighter. This is the turning point of the year. The Romans called it Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun.
