Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a traditional harvest festival celebrated on August 1st in many cultures. It marks the beginning of the harvest season, particularly for grains like wheat and barley. The name "Lammas" comes from the Old English term "hlaf-mas," meaning "loaf mass," as it was customary to bake bread from the first harvested grain and offer it in church. The festival has roots in ancient agricultural practices and is associated with various customs, including feasting and community gatherings. In some traditions, people would hold games and competitions to celebrate the abundance of the harvest and honor the Celtic god Lugh, who is linked to the festival.
