The celebration is primarily the Celtic fire event, midsummer representing the center of summer, and the shortening with the days on their own gradual drive to wintertime. Midsummer is usually celebrated on either the particular 23rd or perhaps 24th associated with June, even though the longest day time actually falls on the Twenty first of Summer. The importance of your day to our forebears can be tracked back many thousands of many years, and many stone circles as well as other ancient monuments are generally aligned for the sunrise about Midsummer's Day. One of the most famous positioning is that in Stonehenge, where the sun's rays rises in the heel stone, framed from the giant trilithons in Midsummer morning.
