Bealtaine is thought to mean ‘bright or goodly fire’. It is one of the oldest festival days in Ireland. A day in the Irish Calendar known as a cross-quarter day. Bealtaine marks the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. This year Bealtaine falls on 5th May at 06:36. ![]()

At this time every year, fires were lit at Uisneach to ‘welcome-in the Summer’. This was an important date in the Irish calendar bringing joy to the people of Ireland through celebration and merriment. To the ancient celts, the year was divided into a light half and a dark half. Just as the day was seen as beginning at sunset, so the year was seen as beginning with the arrival of the darkness, at Samhain (Halloween). Bealtaine celebrated the end of the darkness and the coming of the light and just like Samhain, it was marked in ancient times with the lighting of great bonfires.![]()

Ancient verses known as the ‘Dindshenchas’ (Lore of Places) tell us that the first great fire was lit on the Hill of Uisneach by the druid Míde (the eponym of Meath). The fire burned for seven years and across the land, every chief's hearth was lit from it. When the other druids objected to Míde keeping the fire ablaze, he gathered them together at Uisneach where it is said, he cut out their tongues and buried them on the Hill !![]()

From ancient times until the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, tribal leaders, chiefs, kings and High Kings would gather at Uisneach in ritual celebration of Bealtaine. A huge fire was lit on the summit of this sacred hill, which is visible to over a quarter of the country. We can imagine that bards would share their knowledge and relay stories of surrounding counties’ goings-on and tales of further afield. Poets would recite words that painted many a-picture in the minds-eye of eager, listners present. Music may have filled the air, sweeping over the grassy knolls and flooding the celebrations with a sense of excitment. The cantations of Druids being heard reverberating around the Hill. The Fire would then be lit and upon seeing the light from Uisneach, fires were then ignited on hills and mountains across Ireland, ushering in the light half of the year.![]()

Many traditions were carried out at this time, which we look at in another post., so be sure to check back with us over the coming weeks to learn more of what is truly a wonderful celebration of Irish Heritage on the Hill of Uisneach - the Sacred Centre of Ireland. . .![]()
