What Is Beltane?
Beltane, a name that potentially originated in the common Celtic words meaning "bright fire" and "white" or "shining," began in Gaelic communities across northwestern Europe. The date falls right in between the spring equinox and summer solstice (May 1st), highlighting the beginning of summertime and livestock being moved to summer fields.
Beltane also has a focus on fertility and protection, emphasizing the potential for new life as the year's major growing season arrives and safeguarding the crops that are produced.
The celebration is considered a fire festival, often featuring a large bonfire at the centerpiece in modern festivities. However, sometimes a small torch or candle are used instead for areas where a bonfire isn't possible.
