Under the old Julian Calendar, St Lucy's Day was the shortest of the year, but the Winter Solstice is now eight days later.
It passed at 09:20 GMT, this morning.

'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's,
Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks;
The sun is spent, and now his flasks
Send forth light squibs, no constant rays;
The world's whole sap is sunk.

[A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day - John Donne]
