THE Mysterious SWEDISH MID-SUMMER
Tomorrow is the swedish mid-summer. Lots of myths/legends are said but my fav is written below:
On their way home, girls and young women are supposed to pick seven different species of flowers and lay them under their pillows. At night, their future husbands appear to them in a dream.
Legend has it that the night before Midsummer's Day is a magical time for love. It still is, in a way. During this night many a relationship is put to the test. Under the influence of alcohol, the truth will out, which can lead both to marriage and to divorce.
Like Whitsun, Midsummer is a popular time of year for weddings and christening ceremonies. Despite their poor showing as churchgoers, Swedes still like to wed in a country church with a flower-bedecked, arched entrance and beautiful hymns.
This is the typical scene during the swedish mid-summer day. Lots of ladies wear the cultural clothes & dance around the maypole
