lammas day
Lammas Day is a traditional Christian holiday celebrated on August 1st, which marks the beginning of the harvest season. It commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and when loaves were baked from the new grain and brought to church as a thanksgiving offering. The word "Lammas" originates from "loaf mass", in reference to these bread offerings. It is particularly observed in England, Scotland, and some parts of Ireland. It also has roots in several Pagan traditions.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Lammas Day
the first of August, literally "the loaf-mass" day or festival day at the beginning of harvest, one of the cross quarter days, Whitsuntide, Martinmas, and Candlemas being the other three.
