Summer Solstice And The Summer Time Goddess

Juhannus the summer solstice is one of the most joyous holidays in Finland. Cities become empty when families and friends travel to the countryside and to their summer cabins. From all the holidays Juhannus the summer solstice is the most pagan and the ancient customs of the holiday haven´t changed that much. For many, summer solstice is magical time simply because the sun does not go down.

This is the time when the sun is closest to the earth in the northern hemisphere.
