Midsummer

The event is primarily a new Celtic fire festivity, midsummer representing the center of summer, and the shortening from the days on the gradual drive to wintertime. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated in either the 23rd or even 24th of June, even though the longest morning actually is catagorized on the 21st of Summer. The importance of the afternoon to our forefathers can be followed back multitudes of years, and many stone circles and other ancient monuments are generally aligned on the sunrise on Midsummer's Day. Probably the most famous position is that from Stonehenge, where the sunshine rises within the heel gemstone, framed through the giant trilithons about Midsummer morning.
