4. We who live in Sweden cannot avoid searching for December 13 in the text,. If we begin counting days from spring equinox at Gb6-26 the day colours will agree with the colours of the glyph numbers:

	Ga7-31	Ga7-32	Ga7-33	Ga7-34
March 21 at Gb6-25	December 11	12	13 (347)	14
March 21 at Gb6-26	December 10	11	12 (346)	13

At this time of the year we have special buns, yellow from saffron and formed like a pair of interconnected curves:

In another picture is illustrated how in Sweden December 13 is celebrated with candles and singing:

Obviously this time of the year once must have been a kind of 'candlemas'. Precession makes the dates of celebration move earlier and earlier, and according to the Julian calendar December 13 was the darkest day in the year.

Thus the day of Lucia (who has a crown of candles in her hair) is expressing the same idea as Candlemas. No wonder people in the street here in Sweden had no explanation for Kyndelsmäss -  in Sweden the candles are instead kindled 12 days before Christmas Day.

If the creator of the G text had been familiar with the Gregorian, but not with the Julian, calendar he would presumably not have had any reason to indicate a need of candles at Ga7-34.

"The Julian calendar is still used by the Berber people of North Africa and on Mount Athos, and is the basis for the Ethiopian calendar, which is the national standard (not used only by the Orthodox Church)." (Wikipedia)

The idea of a bringer of light in the darkest of times is universal in human mind. We should remember the Stag:

... A man had a daughter who possessed a wonderful bow and arrow, with which she was able to bring down everything she wanted. But she was lazy and was constantly sleeping. At this her father was angry and said: 'Do not be always sleeping, but take thy bow and shoot at the navel of the ocean, so that we may get fire.' The navel of the ocean was a vast whirlpool in which sticks for making fire by friction were drifting about. At that time men were still without fire. Now the maiden seized her bow, shot into the navel of the ocean, and the material for fire-rubbing sprang ashore.

Then the old man was glad. He kindled a large fire, and as he wanted to keep it to himself, he built a house with a door which snapped up and down like jaws and killed everybody that wanted to get in. But the people knew that he was in possession of fire, and the stag determined to steal it for them. He took resinous wood, split it and stuck the splinters in his hair. Then he lashed two boats together, covered them with planks, danced and sang on them, and so he came to the old man's house. He sang: 'O, I go and will fetch the fire.'

The old man's daughter heard him singing, and said to her father: 'O, let the stranger come into the house; he sings and dances so beautifully.' The stag landed and drew near the door, singing and dancing, and at the same time sprang to the door and made as if he wanted to enter the house. Then the door snapped to, without however touching him. But while it was again opening, he sprang quickly into the house. Here he seated himself at the fire, as if he wanted to dry himself, and continued singing. At the same time he let his head bend forward over the fire, so that he became quite sooty, and at last the splinters in his hair took fire. Then he sprang out, ran off and brought the fire to the people ... (cfr at Ana-Roto).
