Na Féilte Tine (The Fire Festivals) is a four-part series exploring the four indigenous Irish festivals of Samhain, Imbolg, Bealtaine and Lúnasa. The festivals have been celebrated for millennia in Ireland and in this series, we will explore their history and continual evolution as they respond to the spiritual and communal needs of the Irish in the 21st century. The symbolism and mythology central to the festivals will be examined, and we will explore the impact that these ancient traditions have on Irish culture and identity.
