It's a cherished and ancient holiday that has long been a significant part of Ukrainian culture , particularly in western and central parts of Ukraine. Kupalo, the pagan god of earthly fruits, is associated with fertility, harvests, and the summer solstice in Slavic mythology. Ivana Kupala's celebration, rooted in ancient pagan traditions, honors fire, water, and vegetation through rituals seeking purification, protection, health, fertility, and a bountiful harvest. The name "Kupala," derived from "kupaty" (to bathe), reflects the water purification rituals central to the holiday. Rituals: ▪ Jumping over the cleansing fire. Summer solstice celebrates the solar god Yarilo and fire is one of its facets. A description of this ritual can be found in a popular folk about Snegurochka, a girl made out of snow who jumped over the fire on Kupala Night and melted. Some people leap over the flames as it is believed that the act of jumping over the bonfire cleanses people of illness and bad luck. Those who are about to marry are tightly holding hands while the jump: if they do not clench the hands it is believed for a wedding to be. On the contrary, the failure of a couple in love to complete the jump while holding hands is a sign of their destined separation. ▪ Throwing wreaths into the water. Girls usually float wreaths of flowers (often lit with candles) on rivers and would attempt to gain foresight into their relationship fortunes from the flow patterns of the flowers on the river. Men attempt to capture the wreaths in the hope of getting attention of the woman who floated the wreath. ▪ Looking for the fern flower. According to legends, the flowerless plant only blooms on Kupala Night and whoever finds it will be granted luck and happiness. **Language**: English *30 likes · 868 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/DHNFMNAPp1N4DD.md) --- ## 7. 9/14/2024 Полуниця клубника strawberry Малина малина raspberry Чорниця черника blueberry Лохина голубика bilberry Ожина ежевика blackberry Журавлина клюква cranberry Аґрус крыжовник gooseberry **Language**: UK *21 likes · 506 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/y1NkROuEnKtbDD.md) --- ## 8. 8/24/2024 That’s really cool! 💎 💎💎💎💎 https://youtu.be/MvnO1OQwm54?si=vDrtIX-aM-2TLg2S **Language**: English *9 likes · 419 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/pbxLA0HzO4VLDD.md) --- ## 9. 8/23/2024 *11 likes · 412 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/utuGt0XRWOVLDD.md) --- ## 10. 8/21/2024 Still hardly believe that he is not with us… With a great respect 皆さんrecommend you all this beautiful song https://youtu.be/LYAvhujK4nA?si=Ckap8dy2vJ-pUjb3 **Language**: Japanese *6 likes · 2 comments · 317 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/VcDOZcHNZlRLDD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/h_simona12/moments.md) [Back to Simona 霜奈's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/h_simona12.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
