The holiday is dedicated to the sun, which is honored as a source of light and life. Earlier today, Ivan Kupala’s holiday was celebrated.
Tuesday, June 21 is the Summer Solstice. From this date begins summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Athletistic talks about the traditions and prohibitions of the day.
The ancestors considered Midsummer Day special, because it was associated with the magical forces of nature, and performed rituals associated with youth and beauty. The people woke up before dawn and the dew washed away themselves. Also on this day, medicinal plants are collected, because they believe they gain healing power, and interact with nature – they lead dance circles, light fires and sing songs. And the water collected in the morning is considered medicinal.
