NO ONE ASKED
Tomorrow morning before dawn, crowds of people would overwhelm Stonehenge and celebrate the rising of the sun and the coming of May.
May Day is Beltane, meaning the day of the fire. An ancient Pagan festival with Bel being the Celtic God of the sun. The Celts honoured the fertility of the gods with gifts and offerings, sometimes including animal or human sacrifice. Cattle walked through the smoke of the fires and became blessed with health and fertility for the coming year. In Ireland, the fires of Tara were the first ones lit every year at Beltane, and all other fires lit with a flame from Tara.
