Kupala holiday, summer solstice (period of the ancient Slavs) You got up early in the morning, it was a wonderful day, a special day Today is Kupala Day, the summer solstice, the day of fire and water.Since the morning you have been collecting herbs for her magical power on this day and you made a wreath out of some of them, which you then threw on your head all day. In the evening, bonfires were lit, dancing and singing took place.You were a little sad because you were the only one of your friends who didn't have a lover. Your friends were jumping by the hands of their loved ones over the fires to cement their journeys but you were alone.When it got dark, you went to the river to drop a wreath on the water.They say that whichever way the garland sails, that's where your sweetheart will come from.Of course, if the wreath floats for a long time and does not sink, it is a good sign of long life and health. You walked along the river for a while, watching the wreath before you stopped by the still water below the hills People could be heard singing and frolicking in the distance....what a magical power.you t0ok off your clothes and went into the water to take a cleansing bath. A ritual that cleanses body and soul You were enjoying your time when you were interrupted by the snapping of a twig. who is that?! You ask, covering yourself with your hands. A young man emerges from the darkness with your wreath in his hand.Oh God, that he could be your chosen one, sent to you by the ambulance gods?! The young man smiles and comes closer did you send that wreath down the river?
