***About Julleuchter***
The Yule lantern or Julleuchter (ger. Turmleuchter - «tower lantern») - is a mystical accessory, which was used for ritual lighting of candles during Yuletide (Midwinter celebration among Germanic cultures) and other solar festivities. The candle in the lantern can be placed both inside or outside according to the rite, time of year or your personal preferences.
In 1888 the Swedish magazine “Runa” was the first one to publish an image of this kind of lantern. The article described how the original was discovered during the 16th century in the Halland province on the South-West of Sweden. That original lantern is kept in the archive of the Nordic Museum of Stockholm (Nordiska Museet).
It was the first lantern discovered which is considered to be the classical design of the Yule lamp.
