Description
The Year in Ireland by Kevin Danaher This book explores the traditional festivals and seasonal work of Ireland's past, tracing the cycle of the year from New Year to Christmas. From New Year to Easter, May Day to Harvest, and the various high days and feast days in between, Danaher delves into the customs and practices of the Irish people. The book reveals a rich tapestry of picturesque customs, including the making of St Brighid's cross, watching the dancing of the sun on a hilltop on Easter morning, and the swimming of horses on Lúnasa. Drawing on a wide range of sources and thirty years of research, Danaher provides a unique insight into Irish folk tradition. With its multi-coloured tapestry of customs and practices, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.
