Yule is a type of log that is customarily burned on Christmas Eve by people in many parts of the world. But the origin of it's use is associated with pagan worship. According to Dr. Alexander Hislop, author of the book The Two Babylons, it comes from pagan worship. The book states:" Now the Yule Log is the dead stock of Nimrod, deified as the sun-god, but cut down by his enemies; the Christmas-tree is Nimrod redivivus-the slain god come to life again." Pagan sun-god worshippers burned the yule log on the eve December 24 to symbolize the death of the sun-god, and then they replaced brought in an evergreen tree to symbolize the rebirth of the sun-god. In his book, on pages 91-103, Dr. Hislop explains the pagan origins of many of the customs associated with Christmas.
