Yule, rooted in ancient Germanic and Norse traditions, marks the winter solstice around December 21st, celebrating the longest night and the return of light. The festival involves symbolic customs such as the Yule log, which represents continuity and rebirth, and is honored through feasting, wassailing, and gift-giving. Evergreen trees, a Yule tradition, evolved into the modern Christmas tree, and the Yule log’s symbolism continues in the Yule log cake and festive decorations. Today, Yule remains a period of spiritual reflection and celebration, emphasizing the triumph of light over darkness.
