Yule (December 21-22).
Yule is the beginning over winter officially, livestock and people would be huddled inside from the cold. Some other Pagan faiths believe that the God is reborn. The Yule log (not the chocolate version) was specially prepared for the Yule feast and was believed to offer protection from winter danger to the home for the winter. It was burnt on the fire and its ashes being scattered over the fields was thought to bring fertility. At the winter solstice the sun is at his lowest point in the sky.
