Bright Beltane to all! "The Beltane Fire Festival celebrates the heritage of Gaelic history, and marks the blossoming of spring and fertility. The name Beltane is thought to have derived from a Celtic word meaning "bright fire"; the fire represents the sun burning away the winter darkness, and the community pass through it to be purified and circle it for good luck." From The Scotsman_____________
Thnx to The Scotsman and photographer David Moir for the foto: "The Beltane Fire Festival [in Edinburgh, Scotland] played host to 150,000 spectators over the past 20 years."
A belated happy Beltane to you!
ReplyDeleteBelated is right, Anne. I've been busy building boxes for a container garden and have gotten sloppy about blogging lately -- and about keeping good track of the holidays.
