Description
Yule is a winter festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples that is claimed to have been merged with Christmas during the Christianisation of the Germanic peoples.
The term Yule and Yuletide, along with their cognates, are still used in English and the Scandinavian languages, as well as in Finnish and Estonian, to describe Christmas and the season of Christmastide. Furthermore, some present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar and Yule singing may have connections to older pagan Yule traditions.
Today, followers of some new religious movements (such as Modern Germanic paganism) celebrate a holiday they call 'Yule', independently of the Christian festival of Christmas. While some scholars have linked the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin and the heathen Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht ("Mothers' Night"), others have questioned the existence of a pre-Christian festival called 'Yule', holding that the term arose in the Christian era as a synonym of Christmas.
