During the festival where people often light bonfires and jump over them, known as Beltaine or Beltane, participants engage in rituals to celebrate the arrival of spring. This ancient Celtic festival takes place on May 1st and signifies fertility and new beginnings. Jumping over bonfires is a symbolic act of purification and renewal, believed to bring good luck and protect against misfortune. Community gathering around the fire fosters unity, strengthens social bonds, and supports the celebration of nature’s cycles. These traditions are vital in cultural heritage preservation.
