Mōdraniht Mōdraniht (Old English "Night of the Mothers" or "Mothers' Night") was an event held at what is now Christmas Eve by the Anglo-Saxon Pagans when a sacrifice may have been made. The event is attested by the medieval English historian Bede in his 8th-century Latin work "De temporum ratione ". Scholars have proposed connections between the Anglo-Saxon "Mōdraniht " and events attested among other Germanic peoples (specifically those involving the "dísir ", collective female beings, and Yule) and the Germanic Matres and Matronae , female beings attested by way of altar and votive inscriptions, nearly always appearing in trios.
