The longest night of the year followed by the sun’s “rebirth” and lengthening of days. In most traditions, Yule is celebrated as the rebirth of the Great God, who is viewed as the newborn solstice sun. Some pagans consider Yule to be the beginning of the new year. One of the eight major annual sabbats or festivals. Commonly, there is the burning of the yule log (which was traditionally part of last year’s yule tree) which is an act of faith and renewal.
