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
