Here in Norway schools force their pupils to attend church right before christmas , even though almost noone celebrates christmas as christians (we call it "jul").
Every year there's a fucking debate about how nice it is of the state to force young kids to go to church. All because of tradition 🤷
Isnt Jól Wotanic? I remember something about lighting a giant log in a bonfire and every spark is a promise from Thor of a new lamb.
I could be talking out my ass, informed by comic books.
Around here it was the Vikings that celebrate "julablot" around the 12th of January. What they celebrated is not known, but it involved alcohol and sacrifice.
We've kept the name, the alcohol and much of the heathen symbols. Christianity is a small part of it after it was forced upon the Vikings under the threat of violence and death.
