When her mom Alicia went into labor early, she didn’t expect to give birth so soon, but her doctor made a fateful joke.
“I didn’t realize it would happen so close to the eclipse. We already had our glasses and prepared to watch it somewhere else, but we were ready.”

“She opened her eyes as soon as she got out. She was like, ‘I’m ready to see the eclipse!’” joked her mom
The littleeclipsemiracle received a very special name – Sol Celeste Alvarez. Her name means “sun” in Spanish and goes perfectly with her big sister called Luna, whose name means “moon” in Spanish.
“I loved how the sun and the moon sounded together. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a perfect name. And then just to have her during the eclipse was, like, obviously not planned.'”
“We wanted to trace their names back to their Hispanic roots because their dad is Black and Hispanic and names that would be close to each other. I’m just so happy; she’s a miracle,” Alicia explained the reasons behind naming their girls.
The little one received a very fitting name for her unusual birthday – she was named Sol Celeste
“She opened her eyes as soon as she got out. She was like, ‘I’m ready to see the eclipse!’” Sol’s mom gushed in an interview. How many people can brag about witnessing a total solar eclipse on their birthdays? Well, little Sol won’t remember it, but hermompromised to tell her unusual birth story when she’s a little older.
She’s just a few days old and she already has an interestingfactto tell about herself!
Despite being in labor, Alicia too managed to witness the eclipse thanks to Sol’s prompt arrival to the world.
“We heard people screaming and they were looking outside. I was able to see it out the window,” Alicia shared with delight.
Little Sol already has an older sister named Luna – how adorable!

Her family believes that she will do great things for humanity because she was born during such a rare event
The only real danger a solar eclipse poses is the risk of eye damage if you decide to look directly into the sun. So to avoid real bad luck and many expensive visits to the doctors, always use protective glasses when you watch the sun and the moon dance.
However, Sol’s family believes that there is a reason she was born during such a rare event.
“I definitely think there’s meaning in everything. She put a meaning behind her name,” pondered her mom.
“She’s going to do great things for the world,” believes her proud grandmother Linda. Who knows, maybe in a few decades, we will be writing articles about Sol’s incredible achievements?
What do you think of this? Do you think eclipses have a deeper spiritual meaning or are they just regular celestial events?
