Interesting. I don't understand much because I don't know about this tradition, but I liked the last line.

Celtic in origin, I believe. A celebration of the year's harvest. Also called Loaf Mass Day...baking of bread and thanking the gods for the first harvest. Interesting enough that I may research further :) Thanks for commenting Andrea! :)
