The festival is primarily the Celtic fire festival, midsummer representing the midst of summer, along with the shortening in the days on their gradual march to winter. Midsummer is customarily celebrated in either the particular 23rd as well as 24th involving June, even though the longest morning actually comes on the 21st of 06. The importance of the afternoon to our forefathers can be monitored back many thousands of many years, and many natural stone circles as well as other ancient monuments are aligned to the sunrise upon Midsummer's Day. Essentially the most famous positioning is that in Stonehenge, where the sun rises in the heel rock, framed from the giant trilithons upon Midsummer morning.
