Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video, with Scottish music, of the interior of the parish church including the Christmas tree and stained glass windows on Xmas history visit to Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. This Scottish Parish Church date back to the 1300s and originally formed part of the priory church of Pittenweem Priory. The church was extended in 1532 and the interior was refurbished in 1883 in Victorian style with new entrance galleries and stairs. At the base of the bell tower is a dungeon type door, the Scottish witch trials in Pittenweem between 1704 and 1705 saw the accused kept in this room and also the St Fillans cave nearby. Christmas Day is on Sunday, 25 December, 2022. Christmas is a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas, meaning mass on Christ’s day, is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jōl or the Anglo Saxon geōl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages, Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French, all probably denote nativity. The German word Weihnachten denotes hallowed night. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
