Dear GT which in this case stands for "great tease". Pretty please, sugar on it, please tell us how to pronounce name of holidays. I can remember Samhain, but never saw the others before. Bill

Happy ta be of assistance again - but remember I'm no expert here.

Samhain - sown (as in down) - Oiche Shamhain - Hallowe'en
Bealtaine - bal-tan-a - Mayday
Lughnasa - lun-as-a - the god Lug - no particular celebration now (mainstream anyways)
Imbolc - St Bridget's day - once a pagan goddess
