BELTANE MAY DAY CELEBRATION!
WELCOMING SPRINGTIME!

Beltane is a Springtime festival which signals the beginning of the bright half of the year. The folk celebrations of early May in Europe began as a celebration of life and fertility, the time for planting of crops and vegetable gardens, and for the regeneration of life that comes with increased sunlight.
