The Pagan holiday called Yule takes place on the day of the winter solstice, around December 21 in the northern hemisphere(below the equator, the winter solstice falls around June 21). On that day, [the] earth's axis tilts away from the sun in the Northern Hemisphere, and the sun reaches its greatest distance from the equatorial plane.... As a festival of the Sun, the most important part of any Yule celebration is light — candles, bonfires, and more.  2, record 1, English, - Yule

[Fête païenne célébrée] lors du solstice d'hiver entre le 20 et le 23 décembre dans l'hémisphère nord et entre le 20 et le 23 juin dans l'hémisphère sud. C'est le jour qui comporte la nuit la plus longue de l'année. Il marque le début de la saison de l'hiver mais également le moment où les jours vont rallonger. Cette date proche de Noël est souvent associée à cette fête. On se rassemble, on mange, on boit et on festoie en l'honneur de la renaissance du Dieu soleil. Peu avant on retrouve aussi le festival des lumières porteur de la même symbolique.  2, record 1, French, - Yule

The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising summer and winter games. Originally held in ancient Greece, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin in the late 19th century. The Summer Olympics(Games of the Olympiad) have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, except in 1916, 1940, and 1944 due to the World Wars. A special edition for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first Winter Olympics competitions were originally held as a non-olympic sport festival, but were declared to be official games by the International Olympic Committee in 1925. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 on the Winter Games and the Summer Games have been held two years apart.  3, record 2, English, - Olympic%20Games

Les Jeux Olympiques sont un ensemble de compétitions sportives organisées tous les quatre ans. Originellement tenus dans la Grèce antique, ils ont été mis au goût de l'époque et réintroduits par le baron Pierre de Coubertin à la fin du XIXe siècle; les Jeux Olympiques modernes ont lieu depuis 1896 tous les quatre ans (hormis lors des guerres mondiales). Depuis, seules la France et la Grèce ont participé à tous les Jeux. Les premiers Jeux Olympiques d'été ont eu lieu en 1896 à Athènes. Les Jeux Olympiques d'hiver ont été créés en 1924. Jusqu'en 1992, ils ont eu lieu tous les quatre ans, la même année que les Jeux Olympiques d'été (les années bissextiles). À partir de 1994, ils ont toujours lieu tous les quatre ans, mais décalés de deux ans par rapport aux Jeux d'été.  4, record 2, French, - Jeux%20Olympiques

Hogmanay is the Scots word for the last day of the year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year in the Scottish manner. Its official date is the 31 December. However this is normally only the start of a celebration which lasts through the night until the morning of the 1 January or, in many cases, 2 January. The roots of Hogmanay reach back to the pagan celebration of the winter solstice. In Europe, this evolved into the ancient celebration of Saturnalia, a great Roman winter festival, where people celebrated completely free of restraint and inhibition. The Vikings celebrated Yule, which later became the Twelve Days of Christmas, or the "Daft Days" as they were sometimes called in Scotland. The winter festival went underground with the Protestant Reformation and ensuing years, but re-emerged near the end of the 17th century.  1, record 3, English, - Hogmanay
