The feast of St. John is one of the most emblematic and eagerly awaited celebrations in many parts of the world. This ancient tradition takes place every year on 23 June, coinciding with the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. In this short article, we will explore the magic and traditions surrounding the festival of St. John, which is a true festival of light, fire and joy. /> <strong>Origins and significance:</strong> The festival of St. John has its roots in ancient pagan celebrations celebrating the summer solstice, the time when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. The holiday marks the beginning of summer and is associated with fertility, protection from evil spirits and renewal. Over time, the festival merged with Christian traditions, in honour of St John the Baptist, whose birth is celebrated on 24 June. <strong>Bonfires and fireworks:</strong> One of the most prominent features of the feast of St. John are bonfires and fireworks. In many cities and towns, large bonfires are lit in squares and on beaches, where people gather to celebrate. Jumping over the flames is considered a rite of purification and good luck. In addition, spectacular fireworks light up the night sky, creating an impressive and colourful visual spectacle. <strong>Celebrations around the world:</strong> The festival of San Juan is celebrated in many parts of the world, albeit with local variations. In Spain, Midsummer bonfires are especially popular in the Valencia region, Alicante and Catalonia. In other countries, such as Brazil, Sweden and Puerto Rico, the festival of San Juan is celebrated in a festive manner and with its own unique traditions.
