Lughnasa – Christine Valters Paintner

“Lughnasa (pronounced Loo-nassah) is one of the ancient Celtic feasts celebrated on August 1st marking the time of the beginning of the harvest and the gathering in. It is said to honour the Celtic sun-god Lugh who was an ally to the farmer in the struggle for food.”
