On this day in 2013: ‘Going pagan for a midsummer night’, Ivan Kupala Day
Leaping over bonfires. Scouring the dark woods in search of fern flowers. Delicately constructing a flower garland.
These are all essential elements of Ivan Kupala Day, a folk and pagan holiday that celebrates the summer solstice.
If you have not celebrated it, you haven’t seen Ukraine, and you have not discovered the pagan inside you.
