midsummer

[Monty Gross]

The festival is primarily a new Celtic fire festivity, midsummer :: http://summerr.co.uk :: representing the centre of summer, and also the shortening with the days on the gradual goal to winter. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated upon either the actual 23rd or even 24th involving June, although the longest evening actually falls on the Twenty-first of July. The importance of your day to our forefathers can be tracked back thousands of decades, and many gemstone circles as well as other ancient monuments tend to be aligned towards the sunrise upon Midsummer's Day. By far the most famous alignment is that from Stonehenge, where the sun rises over the heel gemstone, framed from the giant trilithons in Midsummer morning.
