This is the best time of the year, but why?
Andy Williams sings best – ”This is the best time of the year…transparent
But what is the difference between Yuer? Saturn,Christmas? Here I gather some information and what I found at this time of year, in short, it all goes back to magical moments, winter solstice…
Just to clarify, winter solstice It is the longest night of the year (and therefore the shortest day, the least sunshine), when the sunlight enters the twelve zodiac signs of Capricorn. you can Read more about the Winter Solstice here.
Symbolically, among the ancient traditions and the ancient people, this is regarded as the rebirth of the sun god, which promises light, warmth, and ultimately fertile fields to harvest again. then Their lives depend on In decent crops, food and sustainability, it is really about the driving force of time and believe that those plenty of time are moving forward.
Nowadays, “winter desolation” is not unbearable.
We can work in hibernation, comfort in our fire, radiator or warm home, as well as entertainment. But from a symbolic point of view, we all need moments of hope – and joy!
Yuer: 12 days…
Yule Tide Fusion of emotions – a trend of joy!
But why the word Yule? Where does it come from, and why Yule logs – actually burning or burning in cake form!
You know and love the classic Yule log!
Yule is a Fire Festival In winter (there are There are eight fire festivals in the year), but this seems particularly special, igniting fire or giant logs is usually oak wood to burn the whole night to symbolize hope and warmth.
Evergreen trees (which remain green, cold, cold throughout the year) make the green tones popular, indicating that nature will prevail;His Yule’s red, white and green colors come from the holly, as well as the snow.
Yule Festival lasts for twelve days – December 21 (Winter Solstice) to January 1 (Yule Night).
Yule originated from what we now know about Christmas, from Scandinavian Nordics (invading Central Europe and spreading these beliefs to Celtics).
Here is what we get the following…
- The choir sang 12 days of Christmas,
- Yule Logs – Yule is celebrated by fire,
- The tradition of cutting down evergreen trees (such as pine trees), mistletoe and holly branches, we now serve as Christmas trees,
- Tree lamps and tree decorations – Northern Germans tied fruits and candles with evergreen branches to commemorate the gods
- Also note that reindeer reindeer in Nordic and Siberian!
Yule is…
- A magical period, burning Yule logs and dancing
- Time to add songs and joy
- Time worships the sun
- Memorial time for darkness to give way…
Saturn…
Saturn, in Saturn’s temple…
Saturn is Rome It originated from being introduced around 217 BC to commemorate the God of Saturn’s Age.
It is celebrated on December 17, growing into a week of celebrations (December 17-23), involving feasts, gifts and games.
These celebrations certainly influence modern Christmas!
The Romans also observed the teenagers in the winter solstice, a feast to commemorate children, members of the upper class and soldiers may celebrate Mithra’s birthday on December 25.
For some Romans, Mithra’s birthday is the holiest day of the year, and it is the day we are now in the calendar as Christmas.
Christmas…
The Christmas we celebrate now was introduced in the fourth century AD by Pope Julius I, in line with pagan rituals, essentially encouraging people to replace Pagan celebrations with Christians! cheeky!
The pagans celebrate the birth of the sun or the return of the sun, and what we hear through the Christian story is the birth of the Son of God, also known as Jesus.
Therefore, at that moment of the winter solstice, on the longest night, the story of the birth of the baby Jeasus is immersed in the winter solstice moment.
It depends on how you celebrate this magical time of the year, just remember to be safe and beware of the fire…
