Today, Estonians celebrate Jaanipäev (Saint John). The pre-Christian roots endure. Jaanipäev marks a change in the agricultural year, particularly the break between the end of spring sowing and the hard work of summer haymaking. Dancing, singing and jumping over a bonfire are also rites of this region. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #Jaanipaev #estonia #June 24
