| has gloss | eng: The Disting is an annual market which is held in Uppsala, Sweden, since pre-historic times. The name (Old Swedish: Disæþing or Disaþing ) originally referred to the great assembly called the Thing of all Swedes , and it is derived from the fact that both the market and the thing were held in conjunction with the Dísablót , the great blóts (sacrifices) for female powers called dísir (they include the Norns and the Valkyries ) at the Temple at Uppsala. They were all originally held at the end of February or in early March . |
