Warm corners in the cold winter night

Snowy winters may be unique to high latitudes, but in the wider world, the dark days of December have given rise to many customs since ancient times. In Northern Europe, the Celts and then the Romans welcomed the winter solstice with fire rituals and displays of greenery to ward off darkness and bring back the light and life of long, warm days.

Over the centuries, bonfires and garlands have become candles, glass decorations and bright, twinkling lights. Today, curled up by a roaring fire and a cup of hot chocolate, people forget that the red and green colors of Christmas come from the berries and foliage their ancestors once gathered.

Des coins de chaleur dans la nuit froide de l’hiver

Les hivers enneigés sont peut-être uniques aux hautes latitudes, mais dans le vaste m monde, les jours sombres de décembre ont vu naître bien des coutumes depuis les temps anciens. En Europe du Nord, les Celtes puis les Romains accueillaient le solstice d’hiver avec des rites de feu et des parements de verdure censés conjurer les ténèbres et ramener la lumière et la vie des beaux jours longs et chauds.

Au cours des siècles, feux de joie et guirlandes sont devenus bougies, décorations de verre, lumières vives et scintillantes. Aujourd’hui, pelotonnés auprès d’un bon feu et d’un chocolat chaud, les gens oublient que les couleurs rouges et vertes de Noël viennent des baies et des feuillages que leurs ancêtres ramassaient jadis.
