What Is Yule?

Before there was Christmas, there was Yule, an ancient festival celebrating the return of the sun and the rebirth of light amid the long, dark months of. This midwinter celebration honored the cycles of nature and the turning of the seasons, filled with feasting, firelight, and evergreen boughs that symbolized life enduring through the cold. Yule marked a time of reflection, renewal, and gratitude for the promise of brighter days ahead.

Many of our modern Christmas traditions trace their roots back to Yule. The practice of bringing evergreens indoors comes from the Baltic and Germanic peoples, who saw plants such as fir, holly, and pine as sacred symbols of eternal life. The Yule log, candles, and festive gatherings all carried deep spiritual meaning long before they became part of the Christmas season. Today, celebrating Yule offers a way to reconnect with the natural world and rediscover the ancient origins of the winter holidays.
