Summer Solstice with Sr Alba
In Ireland, the Summer Solstice is a time when the veil between worlds is said to be at its thinnest, inviting spirits and fairies to roam freely across the land. From the towering megaliths of Newgrange, older than the Pyramids of Giza, to the sacred fires lit atop the Hill of Tara, each celebration is a testament to the island’s profound connection to the natural world and the cosmos. The sun’s powerful rays, believed to bestow blessings and foster growth, are welcomed with open arms by communities who gather to share in the magic and mystery of this celestial event.
