Beltane is a fiery and fertility festival in which we welcome summer and coax it to join us. Since this festival was first celebrated by the Celts - and they figured days from sundown to sundown - this celebration begins at sunset on April 30 and continues through the sunset of May 1. The word Beltane comes from the Welsh words tan (meaning fire) and Bel (the name of the Welsh Sky God). Combined, the words mean "fire in the sky," creating a wonderfully appropriate name for involving the spirit of summer.

Nice blog. Good history, especially about how the Celts calculated a day from sundown to sundown. Enjoyed it.
