  • An aonach or óenach was an ancient Irish public national assembly called upon the death of a king, queen, or notable sage or warrior as part of ancestor worship practices. As well as the entertainment, the óenach was an occasion on which kings and notables met under truce and where laws were pronounced and confirmed. The Aonach had three functions: honoring the dead, proclaiming laws, and funeral games and festivities to entertain. The first function took between one and three days depending on the importance of the deceased, guests would sing mourning chants called the after which druids would improvise songs in memory of the dead called a . The dead would then be burnt on a funeral pyre. The second function would then be carried out by the Ollamh Érenn, giving out laws to the people via bards and druids and culminating in the igniting of another massive fire. The custom of rejoicing after a funeral was then enshrined in the , games of mental and physical ability accompanied by a large market for traders. The most notable fair, that held under the auspices of the High King of Ireland and the Uí Néill, was the Óenach Tailten or "Tailteann Games", which is given prehistoric origins by medieval writers. This was held at Teltown, in modern County Meath, as late as 1770. The compilers of the Irish annals considered violence and disorders at this óenach, or the failure of the incumbent High King to hold the fair, to be of note. The Irish Free State held revivals of the Tailteann Games from 1924 to 1932. Other important assemblies included that of Tlachtga, held on the Hill of Ward at Samhain, that of Carman, held in County Wexford, that of Uisnech, held at Beltane and that of Raigne in Osraige. Not all had pagan calendrical associations. The Óenach Colmáin, probably held at , was named for Saint Elo Colman. (en)

El Aonach tenía tres funciones: honrar a los muertos, proclamar leyes, y juegos funerarios y festividades para entretener. La primera función duraba entre uno y tres días dependiendo de la importancia del difunto, los invitados entonaban cánticos de luto llamados Guba después de lo cual los druidas improvisaban canciones en memoria de los muertos llamadas Cepóg .[cita requerida] Los muertos serían quemados en una pira funeraria . La segunda función la llevaría a cabo el Chief Ollamh Érenn (ejecutivo de la Irlanda gaélica), dando leyes a la gente a través de bardos y druidas y culminando con el encendido de otro fuego masivo. La costumbre de regocijarse después de un funeral quedó entonces consagrada en los Cuiteach Fuait, juegos de habilidad mental y física acompañados de un gran mercado para los comerciantes.[cita requerida] La feria más notable, que se celebró bajo los auspicios del Gran Rey de Irlanda y los Uí Néill, fue la Óenach Tailten o " Juegos Tailteann ", a la que los escritores medievales atribuyen orígenes prehistóricos. Esto se llevó a cabo en Teltown, en el moderno condado de Meath, hasta 1770. Los compiladores de los anales irlandeses consideraron que la violencia y los desórdenes en este óenach, o el hecho de que el Rey Supremo en ejercicio no celebrara la feria, eran dignos de mención. El Estado Libre de Irlanda celebró reposiciones de los Juegos de Tailteann desde 1924 hasta 1932. (es)
