There are the 'Christianised' saint's day associated with it and ,in Celtic past times, it used to be quite important. If you wanted to 'marry' you'd have a years 'trail period' starting on this day and then ,the following lughnasad, you either ditch them or confirm them. Maybe ,in view of todays high divorce rates, the christians might wish to adopt this practise for themselves.......why stop at Easter and Christmas?
