The first of the three harvest festivals. Lughnasadh (or Lammas) honors the grain harvest and the sacrifice of the corn king. Bake bread, give thanks for what has come to fruition, and begin preparing for the darker half of the year. What have you harvested this season?

In folk Christian tradition, loaves baked from the first harvest were brought to church for blessing on Lammas. Bake bread today and bless it over your table. Share it with someone who is hungry.
