Thanks for posting your modern version of Ivan Kupala Night. Did not know what it was until I googled it.

This fire show was part of the entertainment program - right before the traditional bonfire.

Few more photos from that day

On this day people wore chains of flowers and wreaths of herbs. They reeled, sang songs, stoked bonfires with poles topped by burning wheel, the symbol of the sun.




The day of Ivana Kupala is very special for the single Slavic girls and this day is perfect for the divinations about love and marriage.

Single Slavic women make special magic wreaths and let them in the water with candles. If a wreath floats on the water well and the candle does not go out, single girl will get married this year. If not – she’ll be single one more year.

Men may attempt to capture the wreaths, in the hope of capturing the interest of the woman who floated the wreath.



The Kupala Day was a major holiday filled with deep meaning and therefore involved rituals, songs, spells, superstitions, fortune telling, legends and folk beliefs.

This holiday was dedicated to the summer solstice when the night is twice as short as the day. The ancient Slavs honored the Sun.
Women lay wreaths on the water and then the men jump into the water and catch them. A guy is believed to marry the girl, whose wreath he caught.
