Þorr
Þorr is a traditional midwinter festival celebrated in Iceland, typically occurring from late January to mid-February. It honors the old Norse month of Þorri, which is associated with the cold and dark winter season. During this time, people gather to enjoy traditional foods, often featuring preserved meats, fermented fish, and various dairy products.
The festival includes various cultural activities, such as singing, dancing, and storytelling. Participants often dress in traditional Icelandic attire and partake in communal feasts, celebrating the heritage and customs of their ancestors. Þorr serves as a way to connect with Icelandic history and foster community spirit during the long winter months.
