Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, falls on August 1st and marks the beginning of the harvest season. It’s a wonderful time for families to come together and celebrate nature's bounty.
Here are some fun and meaningful ways to enjoy Lammas with your loved ones:
Bake Bread Together
Embrace the Lammas tradition by baking bread as a family. Use fresh, local ingredients and enjoy the delicious results together.
Host a Harvest Feast
Prepare a meal using seasonal fruits and vegetables. Gather family and friends for a festive outdoor picnic or dinner to share the abundance of the season.
Visit a Farmers' Market
Explore a local farmers' market to buy fresh produce and support local farmers. It’s a great way to teach kids about the importance of local agriculture.
Nature Walks
Take a family hike or nature walk to appreciate the beauty of the season. Collect natural items like flowers, leaves, and berries to create a Lammas-themed centrepiece.
Crafts and Decorations
Make Lammas crafts such as corn dollies or harvest wreaths. Use natural materials to create decorations that celebrate the harvest.
Gratitude Ritual
Encourage family members to share what they are grateful for. Write these down and place them in a "gratitude jar" to reflect on throughout the year.
Celebrating Lammas offers a beautiful opportunity to connect with nature and each other. Enjoy the simple pleasures of the season and create lasting family memories.
Much Love,
