The celebration is primarily a new Celtic fire festivity, midsummer representing the center of summer, along with the shortening in the days on his or her gradual goal to wintertime. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated in either your 23rd or perhaps 24th of June, although longest day actually drops on the 21st of July. The importance of the morning to our forebears can be tracked back thousands of decades, and many rock circles and other ancient monuments are usually aligned to the sunrise on Midsummer's Day. One of the most famous positioning is that with Stonehenge, where the sunshine rises within the heel rock, framed by the giant trilithons in Midsummer morning.
