Note:  These dates don’t necessarily coincide with the actual date of the festival – these are the closest Saturdays to the event.  For instance, Beltane would usually be celebrated on the 1^st November.  Having said that, it must be remembered that these celebrations are agricultural celebrations dependent on natural events; so that Lammas, for instance, would only be celebrated after all the grain had been harvested and this might be sometime after the traditional date.  The dates, as we usually consider them, would have only became ‘fixed’ when they were incorporated into the Christian calendar.
