[Cro Dreoilin] Happy Lughnassadh!

[Kelley Forbes]

I have seen both, but I think 1 August is more common.

The first of the month is the default; Imbolg/Lá /Féile/ Bríde is the 
lone exception, because it was timed coincide with the Feast of the 
Purification, which must be exactly 40 days after Christmas, as that was 
when Mary was considered no longer unclean after childbirth and could 
return to the temple.
