Birgitta collected seven different kinds of flowers from the forest,made a bouquet and put it under her pillow.She hoped to dream about her future partner.The powerful midsummer magic worked for her.
Lennart always brought spring water to drink on midsummer,an old ritual to stay healthy.
Heavy drinking always knocked Gunnar down senseless on midsummer evening.
Peter talked excessively about strawberries;Carl was obsessed with small fish,which come to the Baltic shores in spring.Midsummer was the time to eat fish with fresh potatoes.
Christina once was raped on midsummer so she hated this holiday.
Families sang “small frogs”,people danced around the pole;listened traditional music and some wore traditional clothes.A lot much to eat and drink, merry-making would continue whole weekend.
