We eat sardines and jump a bonefire to keep witches and demons off during the next year.

>>76359599
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.

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

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.

>Here everyone goes to the countryside and consumes ridiculous amounts of cheapest beer. At midsummer night's eve we light up huge bonfires and spend time with whitetrash friends and family. 10% of our populations basically drowns during one weekend.

We don't celebrate midsummer at all t b h

>>76364644
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.

>>76359599
It's not.

Well some e-shops are trying to start it by offering special deals for "summer christmas".

>>76360399
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
