Kupala Day
Noc Kupaly is the word to describe the feast day of St John the Baptist in Polish. The day is called Kupala Day! It is celebrated in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Russia. The word Kupala is related to a word derived from the Slavic word for bathing and they believe that it was a sacred holy day honoring the two most important elements: Fire and Water.
The tradition is to burn fires at the end of the day and bathe in open waters at sunset, singing and dancing around ‘pal’ till midnight and is held near the summer solstice. It is equivalent of Valentine’s Day.
