Beltane Fire Festival is an annual participatory arts event and ritual drama, held on 30 April on Calton Hill in Edinburgh.
蘇格蘭愛丁堡朔火節每年4月30日在蘇格蘭愛丁堡的卡爾頓山丘(Calton Hill)上舉辦。

It is inspired by the ancient Gaelic festival of Beltane which began on the evening before 1 May and marked the beginning of summer.
源自於古代蓋爾族(Gaels)的傳統節慶。
每年於5月1日前一個傍晚開始慶祝,代表著迎接夏天的來臨。

祭典中一群人手持火把繞山遊行後穿過一個燃燒的火門。
傳統的神劇接著上演: 五月皇后(the May Queen)帶領綠人(Green Man代表新生與希望) 與紅人(Red Man代表混亂與破壞)打鬥,終獲勝利。

Then once their majestic story is played out, a bonfire is lit and the dancing commences, gleefully ensuring a mass celebration of the death of spring and the birth of summer. 
神劇一結束,接著便是篝火點燃,跳舞喚醒夏天後,正式宣告冬天的結束、夏天的來臨。

Just don't wear anything flammable.
只是他們不穿任何可燃物品~~
衣服算是可燃物吧,
所以呢就會看見有全身幾乎一絲不掛的人舉著熊熊燃燒的火把歡呼跳舞。^^
