Description
Watercolour painting of a laneway leading to a field of ripe yellow crops ready for the harvest near my home in Wicklow Ireland
Harvest is from the Old English word hest, meaning "Autumn".It then came to refer to the season for reaping and gathering grain and other grown products.
The full moon nearest the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon
. Harvest Festivals were traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon.
An early harvest festival used to be celebrated at the beginning of the harvest season on 1 August and was called Lammas, meaning 'loaf Mass'
. Farmers made loaves of bread from the fresh wheat crop. These were given to the local church as the Communion bread during a special service thanking God for the harvest.
The Ould Lammas Fair takes place in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim Ireland on the last Monday and Tuesday in August. It's one of the oldest fairs in Ireland and has been held without interruption for more than three centuries.
"The Ould Lammas Fair" is a traditional ballad written by John Henry MacAuley enhanced the local fame of the fair.
