|
Note: European celebration centered upon the summer solstice, which takes place on an evening between June 21 and June 24. It is typically accompanied by gathering flowers and greenery, lighting of fires, and feasting. It was originally related to ancient fertility practices and ceremonies performed to ensure a successful harvest. With the advent of Christianity, St. John the Baptist's Day was set during this same period. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Europees feest met betrekking tot de zonnewende, op een avond tussen 21 en 24 juni. Het gaat vaak gepaard met het plukken van bloemen en loof, het aansteken van vuren en feestelijke activiteiten. Deze feesten waren oorspronkelijk gerelateerd aan oude vruchtbaarheidsrituelen en ceremonies die werden uitgevoerd om voor een succesvolle oogst te zorgen. In het christendom werd de naamdag van de heilige Johannes de Doper (Sint Jan) in dezelfde periode geplaatst. |
