- St Ethelwold (ca. 912-984)
- Lammas: The day started by breaking up a one year old quarter loaf of bread and leaving it for the birds. Bread played a very important part in this holiday, and
often entire courses consisted of nothing but bread dishes. At the end of the feast, everyone was given a loaf of bread with a lighted candle in it. The celebrants formed a circle and the steward led them around the hall three times. The candles were snuffed and all but one-quarter of the bread was eaten. The remainder would be saved for the next year to feed the birds.
