The first episode of the finale season of Game of Thrones was aired on 14th/15th April (14th April in US, 15th April for everyone else this side of the Atlantic). The episode is titled 'Winterfell' an otherwise apt expression of a spring festival marking the death or 'felling' of winter much like the Sechseläuten does with its snowman effigy burned on the pyre during the spring festival of Zurich (which by all accounts should have been held 15th April of this year being of the 3rd Monday of April 2019).
The final season, Season 8, is the adaption of the last novel "A Dream of Spring" following on from "Winds of Winter"... (Incidentally, Maisie Williams, who plays the main heroine Arya Stark, whom audiences the world over have watched develop from girl-hood to 'blossoming' into a young woman as the series progressed, was born on the 15th April).
For those who don't know, Game of Thrones is a massively hyped series with overarching plot-themes reflecting portents and running parallels with our Dionysian age; a story ushering in great sweeping changes - after the death knell of stabler times - bringing with it widespread societal madness and political strife, rampant pathology and general all round chaos ensues threatening death and destruction for all as the throes of an impending ice age takes hold. An omen, nonetheless, marked by the arrival of a comet positioned in the skies throughout season 2. The Dionysian theme is fleshed out in all its colors none better than that portrayed in Game of Thrones.
The fictional kingdom of Westeros clearly represents Western Europe - of which France would arguably be the epicenter. To the east, there is the neighboring continent of Essos representing Asia and the Middle-East regions typically portraying an Islamic/Old Testament Abrahamic contingent, out of which a queen of dragons, herself of dragons blood (Lizzies), mobilizes an army of emasculated boy-soldiers 'freed' from the 'bigotry' of old-patriarchy to lead into war against Westeros aka Western civilization. Game of Thrones doubles up as a 'Clash of Civilizations' saga... In doing so, has set a new benchmark for gratuitously graphic sex and violence regularly intertwined with psychopathological sadism. Since its inception in 2011, It has lead the way for a new era of adult television X-Treme. Despite its content indulging in all manners of debauchery and acts of psychotic violence, it is constantly promoted in mainstream media, 'bigged-up' to the max on prime time daytime television, without any due consideration of the natural curiosities of attentive children absorbing all the fuss. It gets promoted, endlessly, as the most awesome thing, like, ever!
It is clear there is an agenda to push hard to ingrain in the mass psyche the Dionysian theme that underpins the Game of Thrones directive... Because, the most damaging thing about Game of Thrones is; Game of Thrones is its actually done rather well! This would suggest a lot of effort has gone into its delivery to that effect.
Anyway, there was a critical episode in Season 6 (2016) set in Kings Landing, the capital of Westeros, ending a climatic internal power struggle between state/monarch and religion. The evil Queen Cerce ends up destroying the Great Sept of Baelor with "wildfire" killing all the Faithful gathered within. This was symbolic of 'destroying faith' through destroying its core religious contingent "The Faith", for the Great Sept of Baelor was the religious heart of the whole Kingdom, the Holy of Holies if you will, and was where the beheading of Ned Stark (end of season 1) took place extinguishing any chance for stability and peace in the series to come.
The Great Sept is a combo of gothic-cathedral crowned with a huge classic mosque-like dome. The entrance shots were filmed from the Cathedral of St Mary of Girona in Spain (which incidentally was a mosque at one time too).
Here's a clip from the 2016 scene of Season 6
(Note 1.52mins, the bell of Macron is ejected from the blast, landing halfway across the city, intact)
Fast forward to Season 8 Episode 1 first air date: April 14th/15th 2019 (and start of Holy Week). Here's the latest episode's symbolism in written summery What does the Night King’s flaming spiral actually mean?

A spiral is a representation of an energy vortex - such like those anchored at the location of the cathedrals?. To be pinned to a wall is to be a crucified, as with Christ's crucifixion this Holy Week, and the sword thrust into him like the Spear of Destiny piercing Christ's body on the cross. The cross has become the Crossing of the Nave and Transept of great cathedrals of which a top a spire often sits. "Spire" and "spiral" are the same word-root - as with "spear". The spire in GoT is 7 armed, as always a '7' in keeping with the theme of 7 Kingdoms of Westeros in turn a reflection of '7 Hells and 7 Heavens' of which the Westeros religion is centred on... As with the Great Sept, its namesake being that of "seven" in French, so too could "trans-sept" be the "crossing" of "seven" (of which Islam also believes the number of Heavens is 7) at the spiral/spire of fire at the heart of a great nation's spiritual soul??
With all that said, the chosen air date of the first episode of the 'grand finale' appears to aptly apply multi-symbolic occult references in keeping to its short 8 year tradition to reflecting current state of world affairs.

This brings us to “Winterfell,” the seven-armed spiral is made from human limbs staked to a wall, with little Ned Umber in the center. When Ned reanimates as a wight, Beric Dondarrion stabs him with his sword and sets the spiral afire. “It’s a message from the Night King,” Beric says.
