Kupala Night is celebrated during the night from 6 to 7 July according to the Gregorian calendar and 23 to 24 June by the Julian calendar. Belarus kept this tradition in the most authentic way, as they celebrate the summer solstice every year with many rituals and customs. There are two special villages in Belarus where Belarusians celebrate Kupala Night - Dudutki and Strochitsy. The villages are near Minsk, and they are organizing different concerts and games on this day.


    Many of the rites related to this holiday are connected with the role of water in fertility and ritual purification. This is due to the ancient Kupala rites. On Kupala day, young people jump over the flames of bonfires in a ritual test of bravery and faith.

    Girls may float wreaths of flowers on rivers, and attempt to gain foresight into their romantic relationship fortune from the flow patterns of the flowers on the river. Men may attempt to capture the wreaths. You can also taste delicious Belarusian dishes during the celebration.
