The summer solstice is a big deal in the UK!  At least 20,000 people gathered at Stonehenge last night to watch the sunrise.  On Iona, about 200 people gathered at the north beach for a bonfire.  The summer solstice, the longest day of the year, has been celebrated for hundreds of years in the Celtic tradition, with its emphasis on the spiritual significance of light. Jesus' birth, as the light of the world, is associated with coming into the world at the winter solstice, the longest/darkest night of the year.
