Bealtaine - Celebrating the Turning of the Celtic Calendar and the Festival of Uisneach
Bealtaine, the Gaelic festival that marks the beginning of summer, is a time for celebration and renewal. It is rooted in ancient Celtic mythology and agricultural practices, with the lighting of bonfires being a significant aspect of the festival. The Hill of Uisneach, located in modern-day County Westmeath, has a special place in the celebration of Bealtaine, as it is one of the oldest traditions in Ireland to light the Bealtaine fire there. The lighting of the fire marks the beginning of a time for feasting, dancing, and community, as people come together to connect with each other and their heritage. The festival is a beautiful and meaningful way to connect with nature to celebrate the arrival of spring and the renewal of life.
