I had the time of my life researching the non-mainstream holidays and I have to admit, I'm surprised that some of them aren't more famous! I did what I thought would embody each holiday best.
This is the weekend of the feast of Brigid, the ancient festival denoting the beginning of Spring. May Day, by the way, is the likewise beginning of Summer, Two songs available currently with roots in earlier times recognize this: The Padstow Hobby Hors festival song:
Unite and unite, and let us all unite
For summer is a-comin' today
And wither we are goin' we will all unite
In the merry mornin' of may
... and the Irish Samhradh,Samhradh (Thugamar féin an Samhradh linn).
