Why does The Celtic Calendar and its most important dates, Samhain, Imbolg, Bealtaine and Lúnasa still resonate with the Irish people? Na Féilte Tine, delves into the rituals and traditions surrounding the spiritual and cultural significance on the Irish identity.
The Fire Festivals have been celebrated for millennia in Ireland and this series explores their history and continual evolution as they respond to the spiritual and communal needs of Ireland in the 21st century. The series delves into the symbolism and mythology central to each festival, and the impact that these ancient traditions have on Irish culture and identity.
Tá Féilte Tine á gceiliúradh le mílte bliain in Éirinn, agus scrúdaíonn an tsraith seo a stair agus an chaoi ina bhfuil siad fós ag freagairt do riachtanais spioradálta pobail na hÉireann san 21ú haois. Déanann sí iniúchadh freisin ar an siombalachas agus an mhiotaseolaíocht a bhaineann le gach féile, agus ar an tionchar atá ag na traidisiúin ársa seo ar chultúr agus ar fhéiniúlacht na hÉireann.
