How is midsummer celebrated in your country?
Here everyone goes to the countryside and consumes ridiculous amounts of booze. At midsummer night's eve we light up huge bonfires and spend time with friends and family. The whole country basically stops for one weekend.
you should stop practicing habits of your oppressors pekka
KO ACK ACK A KO ACK ACK A
We eat sardines and jump a bonefire to keep witches and demons off during the next year.
We go To Spain to drink or to greece to get nude.
Also we tan.
The whole thing consumes 2 to 3 weeks.
Then if you manage to arrive at St.Johns day in [Spain|Itally|Southern France|Portugal]
you expirience getting welcommed with fireworks at the beaches at night.
It's great.
Sounds pretty haram to me
>ridiculous amounts of booze
sorry but im not a pathetic alcoholic
you could at least say you were boycoting the states punitive taxes.
Is that a good thing?
I mean it sounds like harem to me.
>this is now illegal in sweden
>festival originally celebrated to honor Ukko, the overgod of Finnish Paganism
>habits of oppressors
Wrong, Péter
In Italy we have "Ferragosto". It's not exactly mid summer though. It's about eating, doing nothing/stay with family and friends, go to some beach or, sometimes, party
We don't celebrate it
Our midsummer pagan thing is actually picked up from some Balto-Slavic people that we took over after coming from the east. We also took farming and females from them.
Finns don't dance around giant dicks like Swedes do.

We don't celebrate midsummer at all t b h
No it's just one of thousands. But it's the largest. In fact it's the world record tallest bonfire built without machinery right there in that photo.
It's not.
Well some e-shops are trying to start it by offering special deals for "summer christmas".

Whether or not it's originally meant to represent a phallus has been debated for a long time, but there's very little, if any, evidence that that is actually the case. The more credible theory nowadays suggests early christian influences to Christianize a pagan celebration which is much older than Christianity in Scandinavia and perhaps even old than Christianity itself.
holy shit, they even sacrifice people

FOY
Ukko and Odin are pleased.
Some regions here make a fire and throw certain herbs in.
