Lammas, sometimes called Lughnasadh, is a celebration of the harvest halfway between the the summer solstice (Litha) and the fall equinox (Mabon), a time to reap what has been sown throughout the past few months and recognize that the bright summer days will soon come to an end. It is the first harvest of the season, marked by the gathering of grain and baking of bread. This is why early Christians called this sabbat Lammas, which translates to “loaf mass”. Typically the focus is on the early harvest aspect or the celebration of the Celtic god Lugh. It’s the season when the first grains are ready to be harvested and threshed, when the apples and grapes are ripe for the plucking, and we show gratitude for the food we have on our tables.
