August 1: A Feast with Loaves and Harvest on Lammas and Lughnasadh Day!

A staple of Pagan tradition is Lammas, which is also known as Lughnasadh. It requires Wiccan ritual supplies and food jars to keep every year at the beginning of August. It signifies the first day of harvesting, which concludes at Samhain, when food is preserved for the barren winter months.

Agriculture may have waned in significance for many Pagans in the 21st century, but the festivities continue to be celebrated.

A feast is normally prepared, with bread at the center of the celebrations. In some cases, the Grain Goddess is honored when each person around the table feeds someone else a hunk of bread. This is normally accompanied with phrases from the Lord's Prayer, or other phrases that wish people continued nourishment. Other corn-based foods can also be used, even popcorn.

Many people celebrate Lammas by creating preserves, and taking the crops of the summer - mainly fruit - and creating jams. Not only is this done for practical reasons, but to create memories.
