Ancient Celtic celebrations

Ancient Celtic celebrations were pagan festivals rooted in seasonal cycles and nature worship. Key festivals included Samhain (marking the end of harvest and beginning of winter, similar to Halloween), Imbolc (celebrating the return of spring and renewal), Beltane (welcoming summer with bonfires and fertility rites), and Lughnasadh (honoring the harvest and Lugh, a Celtic god). These festivals involved rituals like feasting, dancing, and offerings to deities or spirits to ensure good harvests and protection. They reflected the Celts' deep connection to nature, time cycles, and spiritual beliefs, shaping their cultural and religious identity.
