Midsummer

The celebration is primarily a Celtic fire event, midsummer representing the midst of summer, as well as the shortening in the days on his or her gradual goal to winter. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated in either the particular 23rd or even 24th involving June, although longest evening actually falls on the Twenty-first of July. The importance of the day to our ancestors can be monitored back thousands of many years, and many stone circles as well as other ancient monuments are aligned on the sunrise in Midsummer's Day. One of the most famous positioning is that with Stonehenge, where the sunlight rises on the heel gemstone, framed through the giant trilithons about Midsummer morning.
