Midsummer

The event is primarily a Celtic fire event, midsummer representing the middle of summer, along with the shortening of the days on the gradual drive to winter season. Midsummer is customarily celebrated in either your 23rd or even 24th involving June, even though longest day actually comes on the 21st of Summer. The importance of the afternoon to our ancestors can be followed back plenty of many years, and many stone circles as well as other ancient monuments tend to be aligned on the sunrise upon Midsummer's Day. Essentially the most famous position is that with Stonehenge, where the sunlight rises on the heel rock, framed through the giant trilithons about Midsummer morning.
