An ancient tradition originating in Europe, a Yule log warmed the house during the cold Christmas night.
It was ceremoniously brought to the fireplace and lit with the remnants of the log from the previous year. This was to erase trouble from the past and bring good fortune and protection from fire.
這是一個源自歐洲的古老傳統,一塊大原木在寒冷的聖誕夜帶給人們了溫暖。它被隆重地送到壁爐裡,和前一年燒剩下的木料一起點燃。這是為了消除過去的煩惱,並從火中帶來好運和庇佑。
Today, the Yule log takes the form of a traditional French cake shaped like a log, a perfect finish to a Christmas feast.
如今,一種法式蛋糕就做成了原木的形狀,樣子像塊木頭,是聖誕宴席的壓軸大菜。
