The winter solstice is again upon the Northern Hemisphere, and though the year's shortest day heralds the onset of winter it also promises the gradual return of the sun after a prolonged period of darkness.

That there are holidays at the time of this astronomical event is no coincidence. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the solstice and observed it with many different cultural and religious traditions. Some of them survive to the present day—though not always in the form you might expect.

Which word in the sentence is the predicate nominative?
Vikentia [17]
Predicate nominative is also popularly known as the predicate noun. It is a noun, a pronoun or any nominal that follows the linking verb and most of the time the form of the verb be.  It links or completes the linking and change the name of the subject. It complements or completes the verb in the sentence. However, predicate nominative completes only linking verbs.  Predicate nominative can be compound while some do not have one.
