The annual Samhuinn Fire Festival drew thousands of individuals to Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park on Halloween night for its celebration. This ancient Celtic tradition signifies the conclusion of the warmer period and the commencement of the winter season, recounting the narratives of the turning wheel as the seasons transition. The struggle between the summer and winter queens was brought to life through fire dancing, acrobatics, drumming, and vibrant costumes. This event serves as a counterpart to the Beltane Fire Festival, which is held on 30 April. Copyright 2024 BBC. All rights reserved. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
