Lughnasadh
Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas, is celebrated on August 1st or the first harvest Full Moon, marking the start of the harvest season. Named after the Irish god Lugh, it honors his foster mother Tailtiu, who sacrificed herself to prepare the fields for cultivation. This ancient Celtic festival highlights the connection between agricultural cycles and communal celebrations, featuring feasts, games, and gatherings. In modern practices, Lughnasadh is a time for gratitude, reflection, and reconnecting with nature, while its influence also extends to Christian traditions as Lammas, celebrating the first wheat harvest and the offering of bread.
