Julleuchterとは 意味・読み方・使い方

A Julleuchter (German pronunciation: [ˈjuːlˌlɔʏçtɐ]; Yule lantern) or Turmleuchter (German: [ˈtʊɐ̯mˌlɔʏçtɐ]; tower lantern), is a "small earthenware candlestick, about 4" square at the bottom, about 8" tall, and it is shaped kind of like a mountain or a tower." Modern Julleuchters have the Hagall rune and a heart symbol visible on all four sides. Other examples have an Algiz rune or a Uruz rune motif instead of the heart symbol. "There is also a hole at the top for a candle (called the Summit candle), and the inside is hollowed out for a candle underneath." This item is also sometimes called a Hearth Tower
