Midsummer

The festivity is primarily a new Celtic fire festival, midsummer representing the midst of summer, as well as the shortening from the days on his or her gradual goal to winter. Midsummer is usually celebrated upon either the actual 23rd or 24th associated with June, although the longest day actually drops on the Twenty first of Summer. The importance of the afternoon to our forebears can be followed back multitudes of many years, and many natural stone circles and other ancient monuments are usually aligned on the sunrise on Midsummer's Day. Essentially the most famous alignment is that in Stonehenge, where the sunlight rises over the heel gemstone, framed with the giant trilithons upon Midsummer morning.
