gran Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 God Jul everyone Explanation in Norway we celebrate JUL (more or less same as Xmas today but the celebration Jul has a prechristian origin): Celebration of the Norse New Year; a festival of 12 nights. This is the most important of all the Norse holidays. On the night of December 20, the god Ingvi Freyr rides over the earth on the back of his shining boar, bringing Light and Love back into the World. In later years, after the influence of Christianity, the god Baldur, then Jesus, was reborn at this festival. Jul signifies the beginning and end of all things; the darkest time (shortest hour of daylight) during the year and the brightest hope re-entering the world. During this festival, the Wild Hunt is at its greatest fervor, and the dead are said to range the Earth in its retinue. The god Wotan (Odin) is the leader of this Wild Ride; charging across the sky on his eight-legged horse, Sleipnir; a very awe-inspiring vision. In ancient times, Germanic and Norse children would leave their boots out by the hearth on Solstice Eve, filled with hay and sugar, for Sleipnir's journey. In return, Wotan would leave them a gift for their kindness. In modern times, Sleipnir was changed to a reindeer and the grey-bearded Wotan became the kindly Santa Claus (Father Christmas). No wonder Norway is one of the few countries where even a priest can have the name of a Norse God or wiking warriors (examples are Gunnar, Thor, Tor, Brage..list goes on and on) even the food we eat during Xmas up here is rather pagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
