Hello everyone!!! I hope ye enjoyed all my posts about feasts and festivals. From the Celtic year, and the Imbolg feast, to the Bealtaine, Samhain and Lúnasa festivals, equinoxes and solstices and modern festivals and fairs.

I never knew that the Samhain festival is now called Halloween. Did you Know that?

I hope you learned something new about feasts and festivals and once again I want to thank you for reading all my posts and I’ll be doing a geography project in March.

Hello everyone, and welcome back!!! Today I’ll be teaching ye about the Lúnasa festival.

Lugh (or Lug) was a major Celtic god. He was linked with the sun, summer and harvests.

Lúnasa was a festival that marked the start of the harvest season. People often danced at the festival. Lúnasa was on in Ireland until the twentieth century.

Feasts and Festivals in Ireland ~ The Celtic Year

The Celtic Wheel of The Year | Kripalu

Hello everyone, and welcome back!! Today I will be telling you about The Celtic Year. Let’s get into it!

A lot of feasts and festivals in Ireland are from Celtic times. The Celtic year was divided into two parts: A ‘time of darkness’ (from November to May) and a ‘time of light’ (from May to November).

The Celtic year has four big feasts: The Imbolg (February 1st), Bealtaine (May 1st), Lúnasa (August 1st) and Samhain (November 1st).

Some people call the Celtic year a wheel with four spokes – related to the Celtic cross.

I hope ye learned something new about the Celtic year!!!

Thanks for reading my post and make sure to read the next one!!!
