Lammas Day is a special day celebrated on July 31st. It marks the first harvest of wheat and other grains. People used to bring a loaf of bread made from the new wheat to church as a way of saying "thank you" for the harvest. The word "Lammas" comes from "Loaf Mass," which means a special church service with bread. It was a time for people to be grateful for the food that's growing and to hope for more good harvests. It was also a chance for communities to gather, share food, and have fun together.
How to celebrate Lammas Day?
Celebrate Lammas Day by baking bread with your family. Use flour, water, and yeast to make dough, then shape it into loaves. While the bread bakes, pick flowers from your garden to decorate the table. Have a picnic outside with fresh bread, cheese, and fruits. Play games like tag or hide and seek with friends or family in the yard. As the sun sets, gather around a small fire or use candles and share stories or sing songs. Be thankful for the good things in your life, and have fun spending time with loved ones.
