    Default Yule: The Norse Winter Holiday


    Yule was a pagan-Germanic winter holiday that occurred in pre-Christian times. The festival involved the worship of deities, sacrificing of animals, feasting, and drinking. Old Norse literature suggests that the holiday was celebrated in medieval Scandinavia as it is referenced in several of the sagas. Today's video will present the fascinating history of this Norse winter holiday. The Channels of ''Vikings Month!'

    Yule/Yuletide is an ancient Germanic nature festival in England which we still culturally celebrate each December.

    And the Winter Solstice and decorating tall trees with lights on the shortest day and longest night of the year and to celebrate the return of daylight again in the northern hemipshere of the planet. People gather at Stonehenge as well to celebrate this ancient Germanic Pagan nature festival.

    The ancient stones are perfectly aligned with the sun, moon, equinoxes and solstices.


    Traditionally people feast, make log fires and log cakes, give gifts, drink mulled wine, and decorate tall triangular trees with a silver 5 pointed star on top of the Yule tree pointing to the light and the rebirth of the sun god in the cycle of nature.

    The December festival was also celebrated by ancient Romans too as Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun".) They would feast for five days to celebrate the return of the daylight in the northern hemisphere of the planet from the shortest day of the year... and the daylight minutes gradually increase in length from this point onwards until the longest day of the year and shortest night in the northern hemisphere of the planet during the Summer Solstice.

    People also give cards stating 'Seasons greetings' during the Yuletide festivities. They have similar names for this Germanic festival in Germany, Denmark and Sweden too;- Jul.

    Yule is an indigenous midwinter festival celebrated by the Germanic peoples. The earliest references to it are in the form of month names, where the Yule-tide period lasts somewhere around two months in length, falling along the end of the modern calendar year between what is now mid-November and early January

    Yule is attested early in the history of the Germanic peoples; from the 4th-century Gothic language it appears in the month name fruma jiuleis, and, in the 8th century, the English historian Bede wrote that the Anglo-Saxon calendar included the months geola or giuli corresponding with either modern December or December and January.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule
    Atheists celebrate it too as it's a Germanic cultural nature festival.... just like Samhain/Halloween/Celtic New Year in the natural calendar is an ancient Celtic festival in Éire and the British Isles when the night and day hours are equal in length, and the veil between the carnal and spiritual worlds are at its thinnest point in nature.



    Jehovahs and Muslims refuse to celebrate 'xmas' due to its Pagan origins. This winter feasting and gift-giving festival and decorating native fir trees with lights was banned in the U.S. for many years.
