Beannactaí na Bealtaine!

This is one of the most important times of our year and we’ve been celebrating this ancient Celtic pagan festival for thousands of years.

It’s the end of winters challenges
and a step into abundance and bounty.
It’s a festival of life 1/3

May Day at the #BereIsland Standing Stone #Bealtaine

Beltane, the Celtic name for May Day, has origins in ancient pagan rituals from the Iron Age. The Celts believed Beltane marked the beginning of summer, and that fire would bring fertility back to the world. The word Beltane comes from the Irish Gaelic Bealtaine or the Scottish…

One of the places most associated with this time of year is Beltany Stone Circle in Donegal, as its name is thought to derive from An Bhealtaine.

This monument is set high on a Donegal hilltop with extensive views over the surrounding landscape.
