Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice Brings Shortest Day Of Year: "The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears to be the same for several days before and after the solstice.
Following the winter solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter. "


If it's the shortest day, it must be followed by the longest night, right? Is it somehow significant? If so, how?
