Lughnasagh 🥖🎑
Copied from a friend 🧡
Traditionally, Lughnasadh is a time to celebrate the first harvest, particularly the grain harvest, and to give thanks for the abundance of the season.
Lammas:
The name "Lammas" is derived from the Old English "loaf mass," referring to the practice of baking and blessing loaves of bread as a symbol of the first fruits of the harvest.
Lugh:
The festival is named after the Celtic god Lugh, a skilled craftsman and warrior, who is said to have initiated the festival as a funeral game in honor of his foster mother, Tailtiu.
Practices:
Celebrations often involve feasting, crafting corn dollies, athletic competitions, and other activities that honor Lugh and the bounty of the harvest.
