Y is for Yearly Yule —A Holiday Like Christmas

Hi everyone. Today I am doing letter "Y" in the A to Z April Blogging Challenge. Y is for Yearly Yule is about the annual holiday in the human kingdom. This holiday is almost like Christmas to us. I thought I would give a break down about the holiday and share its meaning to you.

Y is for Yearly Yule

A Holiday like Christmas

The Yearly Yule is the holiday that starts out the new year. It is held within the beginning of Spring when the last of the snow is melting. Families gather to celebrate the end of the cold months of being shut in and isolated from each other. They get to do festivals, small gatherings in towns, and great gala parties amongst the nobles.

This holiday is to celebrate the nature world and how everyone survives on the wealth of the land. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and many people enjoy putting up garlands, decorating trees, and laying florals around the outside of their homes to celebrate.

Many gather in cities and towns to do bonfires and dancing to get in the festive spirit and of course they feast. Another big part is fire works that the mage students put on every year to bring in the new year. They mark the sky in bright colors and make magical designs in the night’s sky.

In a way, you can say the Yearly Yule is like Christmas and New Year’s Eve put into one. But it has a deeper meaning, since it incorporates the following of the gods of light. They will leave out offerings to Bright Star, Huzinki, or any of the other gods/goddesses that represent light or neutrality.

Hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of the April A to Z Blogging Challenge. Hard to believe it is almost over. But I got one last post for you tomorrow and I hope you stick around to find out what it is. Hope you have a happy Tuesday. :)
