Name Origin
Beltane is an ancient Celtic festival celebrated on May Day (the first day of May). Beltane is one of four fire festivals throughout the year along with Imbolc, Lammas and Samhain. The Celts saw Beltane as the beginning of summer and brought life and fertility back to the world. Bel was a Celtic deity, or god, and the name Beltane means the 'fire of Bel'.
