But in days past in Orkney and throughout Northern Europe, Yuletide and its midwinter traditions lasted up to a month. At one time they began close to December 20th and went on until January 13th - better-known now as the Old New Year.
Up to two centuries ago, the festival in the pitch-dark days of the year was still being called Yule and not Christmas. This was one of several great pagan festivals celebrated by the Vikings who lived here in the 8th century. Other tribes from Northern Europe introduced comparable fests and customs to the UK mainland. It was a period to look toward the return of brighter days and to position themselves with family and nearby neighbours, all around the peat fires to tell stories. These tales have ben carefully woven into a number of the Ola Gorie jewellery designs.
