In some English-speaking countries in the Northern Hemisphere August 1 is Lammas Day (Anglo-Saxon hlaf-mas loaf-mass) the festival of the wheat harvest and is the first harvest festival of the year. On this day it was customary to bring to church a loaf made from the new crop which began to be harvested at Lammastide.
