Yule-feiern was a winter solstice celebration that was highly celebrated in the Third Reich, particularly by the SS under Heinrich Himmler's leadership. The celebration had pagan roots and involved ritualistic acts such as lighting candles and building bonfires to mark the return of lighter days after the winter solstice. The SS incorporated Yule-feiern celebrations into their official calendar of activities and used it as an opportunity to emphasize their own ideology and Germanic mythology.
The Yule celebrations often featured loud chanting, multicultural music performances, feasting on traditional "Germanic" foods such as goose or pork roast, exchanging gifts like torches or runes carved from timber believed to carry magical powers with layers meaning beneath every scratch.
However intriguingly these Nazi made-up festivities never specified deities worshiped; There seems to be no single core god/goddess being appeased by Nazis who adopted polytheistic tendencies among themselves.
