Lammas Day

Aug

Lammas Day is a special day celebrated on August 1st. It's like a festival for the first wheat harvest of the year. Long ago, people would bring a loaf of bread made from this new wheat to church to thank God for the harvest. "Lammas" comes from "loaf mass," which means a church service with bread. It's a way to celebrate the start of the harvest season and to share with others. People might have picnics, make corn dolls, or hold fairs. It's all about being thankful for the food and what nature gives us.

How to celebrate Lammas Day?

On Lammas Day, you can have lots of fun! Start by baking bread with your family; it's a special way to celebrate. Use flour to mix and knead the dough, then watch it rise. When it's all baked, share it with friends and family. You can also make little corn dollies with straw or corn husks to decorate the house. Enjoy a picnic outside with your homemade bread and snacks. Sing songs and make up fun stories. If you have a garden, pick some flowers or fruits to enjoy.
