Lughnassad | | Lughnassad: July 31 - August Eve - Lughnassad | | July 31 - August Eve - Lughnassad
'Lughnassad' means 'the funeral games of Lugh',
referring to Lugh, the Irish sun god. However, the funeral is not his own, but
the funeral games he hosts in honor of his foster-mother Tailte. For that
reason, the traditional Tailtean craft fairs and Tailtean marriages (which last
for a year and a day) are celebrated at this time. As autumn begins, the Sun
God enters his old age, but is not yet dead. It is also a celebration of the
first harvest. The Christian religion adopted this theme and called it
'Lammas', meaning 'loaf- mass', a time when newly baked loaves of bread are
placed on the altar. An alternative date around August 5 (Old Lammas), when the
sun reaches 15 degrees Leo, is sometimes employed by Covens.
