Midsummer

The festival is primarily the Celtic fire festivity, midsummer (middlesummer.co.uk) representing the centre of summer, as well as the shortening with the days on their gradual goal to wintertime. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated about either the actual 23rd or 24th involving June, although longest evening actually falls on the Twenty first of June. The importance of the morning to our forebears can be traced back thousands of many years, and many rock circles as well as other ancient monuments are generally aligned on the sunrise upon Midsummer's Day. By far the most famous position is that at Stonehenge, where the sun rises over the heel rock, framed from the giant trilithons upon Midsummer morning.
