Jónsmessa, a very strange day
According to Icelandic folklore, cows gain the power to speak, seals become human, and it is healthy to roll around naked in dew-covered grass. Icelandic folklore also states that if you sit at a crossroads where the four roads lead to separate churches all night, the elves will try to seduce you with food and gifts.
