Midsummer

The celebration is primarily the Celtic fire festivity, midsummer (http://midsummerr.co.uk) representing the midst of summer, and the shortening in the days on their gradual march to wintertime. Midsummer is customarily celebrated upon either the actual 23rd or 24th of June, even though longest evening actually is catagorized on the 21st of 06. The importance of the afternoon to our forebears can be tracked back many thousands of decades, and many rock circles and also other ancient monuments tend to be aligned towards the sunrise on Midsummer's Day. Probably the most famous positioning is that in Stonehenge, where the sun's rays rises within the heel rock, framed by the giant trilithons on Midsummer morning.
