Beltane is a Celtic holiday celebrated at dawn on May 1, symbolizing the onset of summer. The exact translation - "Fire of Bel" is directly related to the name of the main Celtic god of the Sun and fire, and, accordingly, fertility. Beltane is one of the eight most significant pagan holidays, characterizing the beginning of the agricultural period, and included in the Wheel of the Year. The wheel of the year allowed the ancient people to pay respect to nature, glorify the constant flow of time and life itself, the end of the winter period and the celebration of summer. For several days, brushwood was collected for two large fires located on the nearest hill or hill. Pagan traditions included solemn sacred chants, dances praising the gods. The indispensable attributes of the Celtic festival were the May Bough, the May Bush, associated with the rites of the Druids and being the prototypes of the modern May tree. The rituals emphasized that it was with the advent of Beltane that a new, annual union of the earth and the sun was formed, giving rise to the growth of the crop. In any case, Beltane marks the arrival of the warm season and is filled with bright energy.
