Na Féilte Tine

Na Féilte Tine (The Fire Festivals) is a four-part series exploring the four indigenous Irish festivals of Samhain, Imbolg, Bealtaine and Lúnasa. The festivals have been celebrated for millennia in Ireland and in this series, we will explore their history and continual evolution as they respond to the spiritual and communal needs of the Irish in the 21st century. The symbolism and mythology central to the festivals will be examined, and we will explore the impact that these ancient traditions have on Irish culture and identity.

Lúnasa

This final episode traces the spirit of Lúnasa from myth to modern festival. The great gatherings and fairs of Lúnasa can be said to have manifested in the summer musical festivals of the modern day, with the Night & Day festival in Roscommon featured as an example of the modern equivalent. The episode includes a visit to Eamhain Mhacha, the sacred hill of Ulster and ancient ceremonial center of the North. It introduces the Armagh Rhymers and attends the vibrant contemporary Lúnasa Festival, where old customs find renewed meaning through performance, gathering, and ritual.
