One of the Greater Sabbats, also known as Lammas or the Feast of Bread. This holiday marks
the time of the first harvest. The sun loses its strength and the nights grow longer. The God is dying, and yet lives on inside
the Goddess as her child. The God is now seen in the seed, in the grain, and is remembered and honored with the first loaves
of bread.
