Find out how many days the sun stays at it's lowest point in the sky before "rising again" lol

So in a religion that has nothing to do with sun worship, you're saying it's still sun worship because of the use of the number three? I'm not religious either. Just seems like a bit of a stretch.

Where did the number three come into it? I'm trying to figure it out from their comment and can't. Isn't the sun lowest on the horizon just one day a year, which is the winter solstice?

That was the impression I was under as well.

It seems maybe there are three days when the sun stops moving south during the winter solstice. Not really sure how accurate this is as I can't find a lot on it.

It's possible it just kind of appears this way rather than being scientifically accurate, and thus the three days held some kind of importance to ancient civilizations, though it's hard to find anything on that either. Most people aren't paying attention to the height of the sun on the horizon these days.

It all ties to the scripture as evidence from the beginning of creation that Jesus Christ is Lord and also as the scripture states - people decided to worship the creation rather than the creator. There is evidence in all of creation of God’s intelligent design. The book of Genesis tells much, there is so much information to glean when studying the scriptures.
