Midsummer 2025
 |
The holiday originates in Sweden and is now observed internationally.
Actually in the Middle Ages, Germany had its own Midsummer rituals and these were adopted by Sweden.
The day began as a pagan ritual for fertility and a successful harvest during the Stone Age.
It is marked with rituals and the giving of thanks.
Central to the observance was the belief that spirits were free to roam the earth as the sun was turned southerly.
Spookage.
The holiday is wildly popular in Sweden and I can certainly see why.
I wouldn't even need a maypole to enjoy it immensely.
Happy Midsummer to you.
