The celebration is primarily the Celtic fire festivity, midsummer representing the middle of summer, and the shortening from the days on their own gradual drive to winter. Midsummer is typically celebrated upon either the actual 23rd as well as 24th regarding June, although the longest evening actually comes on the Twenty-first of 06. The importance of the day to our ancestors and forefathers can be tracked back many thousands of a long time, and many stone circles as well as other ancient monuments are aligned for the sunrise about Midsummer's Day. Probably the most famous position is that in Stonehenge, where the sun rises on the heel rock, framed from the giant trilithons in Midsummer morning.
