BURN THE YULE LOG An entire tree, largest end in the fire. Old Nordic ritual: sacrifice animals in the temple and sprinkle crowd with blood. Church ritual: sprinkle crowd with holy water 'blood of the lamb'. 'Bless' is Old English word for blood. French ‘blesser’ means to hurt. https://t.co/Ak1GZPNysh
