Lammas Day (Anglo-Saxon hlaf-mas, "loaf-mass"), also known as Loaf Mass Day, is a Christian holiday celebrated in some English-speaking countries in the Northern Hemisphere on 1 August. The name originates from the word "loaf" in reference to bread and "Mass" in reference to the Eucharist. It is a festival in the liturgical calendar to mark the blessing of the First Fruits of harvest, with a loaf of bread being brought to the church for this purpose. While Loaf Mass Day is traditionally a Christian holy day, Lughnasadh is celebrated by Neopagans around the same time.

  • Lammas Day (Anglo-Saxon hlaf-mas, "loaf-mass"), also known as Loaf Mass Day, is a Christian holiday celebrated in some English-speaking countries in the Northern Hemisphere on 1 August. The name originates from the word "loaf" in reference to bread and "Mass" in reference to the Eucharist. It is a festival in the liturgical calendar to mark the blessing of the First Fruits of harvest, with a loaf of bread being brought to the church for this purpose. On Loaf Mass Day, it is customary to bring to a Christian church a loaf made from the new crop, which began to be harvested at Lammastide, which falls at the halfway point between the summer solstice and autumn September equinox. Christians also have church processions to bakeries, where those working therein are blessed by Christian clergy. Lammas has coincided with the feast of St. Peter in Chains, commemorating St. Peter's miraculous deliverance from prison, but in the liturgical reform of 1969 the feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori was transferred to this day, the day of St. Alphonsus' death. While Loaf Mass Day is traditionally a Christian holy day, Lughnasadh is celebrated by Neopagans around the same time. (en)
  • Lammas o día de Lammas es una festividad tradicional de la cosecha, de origen celta, también conocida como Lugnasad, que se celebra el 1 de agosto en los países anglosajones y en religiones de revival celta y neopagano como la wicca. Durante la época medieval esta fiesta era conocida como "Gule of August", pero el significado de "gule" es desconocido. Ronald Hutton sugiere que esta palabra puede ser una anglicanización de "gwyl aust", el nombre galés para el 1 de agosto y que significa "fiesta de agosto"; y propone un origen pagano y pre-cristiano de Lammas entre los anglosajones y su conexión con el festival gaélico de Lugnasad ("bodas de Lug", un dios celta).

  • Is é an 1 Lúnasa Lá Lúnasa (nó Lughnasa) agus an chead lá den fhómhair, de réir . Tosaíonn féile an fhómhair in Éirinn ar an lá seo agus maireann an ceiliúradh cúpla lá nó cúpla seachtain b'fhéidir. Ainmníodh Lúnasa as Lugh, nó Lú, duine de na déithe ba thábhachtaí a bhí ag na sean-Cheiltigh, ní amháin in Éirinn ach ar fud na hEorpa. Mar shampla i Sasana agus tíortha eile, ceiliúrtar Lammas Day, Lammastide nó Loaf Mass Day i mBéarla ag an am céanna. (ga)
  • Le Lammas, du vieil anglais hlaf-mas pour « messe du pain », est une fête célébrée dans certains États anglophones de l’hémisphère nord, généralement entre le 1er août et le 1er septembre. Ce festival marque la récolte du blé, et est la première fête de la récolte de l’année. Il était alors coutumier d'emmener un pain fait avec la nouvelle récolte à l'église, celui-ci était récolté à Lammastide. Le pain était béni et, en période anglo-saxonne il pouvait être utilisé à des fins de magie : un livre de sorts anglo-saxons conseillait alors de diviser le pain de lammas en quatre parts qui devait être placées aux quatre coins de la grange pour protéger le grain entreposé.

  • In alcuni paesi di lingua inglese, il 1º agosto è la festa di Lammas (da loaf-mass, "festa dei pani"), dove si festeggia la prima mietitura dell'anno portando in chiesa una pagnotta ottenuta dal nuovo raccolto. In molte parti del Regno Unito, i mezzadri erano tenuti a presentare il raccolto ai padroni dei terreni entro questa data. Nello stesso giorno (o in alcuni casi il 6 aprile), si benedicono i frutti. In epoca medievale, la festa era conosciuta come Gule of August, ma il significato della parola gule è ignoto. Ronald Hutton suggerisce che derivi dal gallese gwyl aust, che indicava la festività del primo agosto, ma la cosa non è sicura. Se così fosse, il termine suggerirebbe che Lammas risale ad una festività di epoca pre-cristiana, forse legata a Lughnasadh. (it)
