St. John's Wreath... every girl knits a Wreath on St. John's Day. the next day she goes to the river where she throws the wreath into the water, if the wreath stays afloat, she will find a man and love in the future. in the evening e jumped over the fires and looked for magic herbs. You too participated in the festivities of St. John. You knitted a wreath and went with the other girls to the bridge, where they are already waiting in the river under the bridge for the girl to throw the wreath... you turned three times, thought of your beloved and asked St. John for a blessing. Then you and the other girls threw the wreath into the river and watched the boys throw themselves into the river for the wreaths. You laughed with the girls and before you found out who took your wreath, you ran with the girls to the festive fire where you danced and jumped over the fire....after a while the boys came running all over the clock and with wreaths in hand. They rushed into the circle to dance with the girls who owned the wreath that they had pronounced and now they are trying to win their hearts as well. One came up behind you too, hugged you from behind, his lapeled blouse on your back, and lifted you up into the air and began to spin you around. my little ladybug, I want to marry you
