Traditionally, the Twelfth Night festival marked the onset of the winter solstice, the point in late December when the sun, whose daily arc had reached its lowest, darkest, coldest point, began it’s rise toward the longer, warmer days and the coming of spring. The ceremonial Yule Log, preferably oak, burned to bring prosperity, abundance and luck in the coming year, was hauled in to start the hearth fire around which its visitors would gather throughout the rest of the Yuletide season.
