Lughnasa miscellany

Speaker: John WardLughnasa - the time of the harvest runs from the end of July well into August. Just as a good Rosary has its trimmings, so too does Lughnasa have a number of ancillary events that need to be referenced. The first major event after Garland Sunday was the Assumption, being the 15th of August. This was the day that the Virgin Mary assumed or rose into Heaven. It was also known as Big Lady Day, Marymass or grandest of all, Great Lady in the Harvest!© 2021-2022 Racontour Productions.
