Many cultures celebrate Midsummer on August 2 and this week is the peak. We are halfway through the summer in all its joy and glory and danger, with its COVID-sharing county fairs, political rodeos, and Olympic upsets. |

August begins with Lammas, Loaf Mass Day, Lughnasadh - the day in the Book of Common Prayer calendar when a loaf baked with flour from newly harvested grain is brought to church and blessed, God's blessing is sought for the growing crops.
Lughnasadh is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the harvest season. Named for Lugh, one of the most prominent gods in Irish mythology and member of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Portrayed as a warrior, a king, a master craftsman and a savior. He is associated with skill and mastery in multiple disciplines, including the arts.
