Midsummers eve is probably the oldest festive finns have been celebrating. It used to be a day dedicated to the main god in old finnic religions and it was believed the light as day night had special shamamistic powers to it.

>Jaanipäev
Baltic imperialism at work, next you know its Jāņi.
>>61126521
Midsummer is called St. John's day everywhere, not just here.
>>61126620
Stop ruining everything man
June 24th is literally the national holiday of Quebec.
We don't give a fuck about Canada day.
>>61126656
It's not even a pagan holiday, it is named after John the Baptist.
>>61126869
The Church "christianized" a lot of pagan celebrations, they just decided that the rites were now dedicated to some saint, but their origins stays pagan.
>>61126869
>European midsummer-related holidays, traditions, and celebrations are pre-Christian in origin
Balts are pretty dimwitted. It's no wonder Baltic countries are the sewer of Europe.
>>61126938
>>61127046
All religions and religious rites came from somewhere. Christianity came from Judaism, Judaism came from some pagan religion. I'm sure they celebrated midsummer as well.
>>61127170
>These are the "hottest girls in the world" according to /int/
>>61127121
but the content of the celebration is pretty fucking pagan, dancing around a fire dressed in leaves is very far from the more strictly "christian" type of celebrations like parading a Christ statue around the town or flagellating yourself.
>>61127170
How do you protect yourself from these midsummer trolls, Finland?

My point was that origins of Christianity are based on pagan religions and that all religions are connected in some way by borrowing rites and traditions.
Over here the holiday is called Jāņi (Latvianized Johns). People "revere" this name by singing songs to this "Jānis". The whole holiday is based around this name.

I wonder about the origin of this bonfire stuff. I imagine hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago somewhere in Europe coming up with this because reasons and then spreading it out everywhere. Or the Finns celebrating a victory over the Koreans during their famous wars.
>>61127651
>Finns celebrating a victory over the Koreans during their famous wars.
>>61112476
I wouldn't know, I've never celebrated midsummer with anyone.
I've never celebrated with anyone about anything for that matter.
>>61129163
