What is Yule and what does it have to do with Christmas? | GotQuestions.org

Have you ever wondered why we sing about "trolling" yuletide carols or what a "blazing yule" actually represents in our favorite Christmas classics? While the term Yule is woven into our holiday traditions, its roots trace back to ancient winter festivals and the Germanic lunar calendar long before it became synonymous with the birth of Christ. From the symbolic burning of the yule log to the strategic merging of the winter solstice with the Feast of the Nativity, the history of our December celebrations is a complex hodgepodge of culture and faith. But beneath the layers of secular folklore and seasonal glitter lies a truth far more significant than any pagan remnant: the glorious reality that God became man in order to bring man to God. See how these traditions became intertwined and why the true meaning of the season goes beyond the festivities to celebrate the Savior who remains our hope all year long. In this video, pastor nelson answers your question: What is Yule, and what does it have to do with Christmas?
