Bealtaine: the significance of this ancient astronomical festival

Anthony Murphy describes the significance of Bealtaine and the other old cross-quarter date festivals while on his way to the Bealtaine Fire Festival at the hill of Uisneach, Co. Westmeath. He also explains why he feels these cross-quarter dates would have been celebrated in pre-Christian Ireland, and perhaps as far back as the Neolithic.
