The festival is primarily a Celtic fire festivity, midsummer (midsummerr.co.uk) representing the center of summer, and also the shortening from the days on their gradual march to wintertime. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated on either your 23rd as well as 24th regarding June, even though longest day time actually comes on the Twenty first of Summer. The importance of the afternoon to our ancestors and forefathers can be monitored back thousands of decades, and many natural stone circles along with other ancient monuments are usually aligned for the sunrise on Midsummer's Day. One of the most famous place is that at Stonehenge, where the sun's rays rises on the heel rock, framed from the giant trilithons upon Midsummer morning.
