Midsummer

The festival is primarily a new Celtic fire festivity, midsummer representing the centre of summer, along with the shortening of the days on their own gradual goal to winter months. Midsummer is usually celebrated in either the particular 23rd or even 24th associated with June, although longest day actually falls on the Twenty-first of July. The importance of your day to our ancestors can be followed back multitudes of decades, and many gemstone circles as well as other ancient monuments are aligned on the sunrise about Midsummer's Day. By far the most famous positioning is that with Stonehenge, where the sun rises within the heel rock, framed from the giant trilithons upon Midsummer morning.
