The sun Is wonderful. It’s the ‘giver of life’ and all living things on Earth depend on the energy that comes from It. It Isn’t surprising then that people have always celebrated the sun. In Russia, people honour the sun on Midsummer Day, or Ivan Kupala Day, one of the most exciting celebrations of the year.
Ivan Kupala Day is an ancient holiday still celebrated in a lot of countries, including Russia. It is a huge celebration of the sun and takes place every year around the summer solstice, the day the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It is a popular and fun holiday filled with a variety of rites and ceremonies connected with water, fire, and plants.
On the evening before Ivan Kupala Day, people look through their gardens or wander around forested areas looking for fem flowers. People believe that these flowers only bloom for a few moments on the eve of the summer solstice. Legend also has it that when the fem flower blossoms, you can see all the treasures of the Earth. Finding a fern flower is thought to bring prosperity to the lucky finder.
On Ivan Kupala Day, the fun begins with children playing tricks and having water fights. Swimming on Ivan Kupala Day is also a popular custom. In the evening people light huge bonfires as part of the celebrations. They dance around them and jump over them. The person who jumps the highest is believed to be the happiest. In the past, many people thought that on this night, the shortest one of the year, evil spirits came out and so they would stay up all night performing different rites to keep the evil spirits away.
