Lammas
Lammas, also known as Lughnassad, is celebrated on August 2. It is the first of the harvest festivals. This is when the grains are cut and the gardens are beginning to be harvested.
The days are now getting shorter and fall is approaching. This is a Sabbat celebrated by breads and grains. We often hold feasts due to the crops being so plentiful.
