🕑 Added 2024-06-20 10:39:10 +0000 UTC Tomorrow, Friday, Swedes will celebrate Midsommar, the summer solstice. And it is my favorite holiday! But why do we celebrate Midsommar? 🌸Swedish Midsommar (Midsummer) is one of the most significant holidays in Sweden, celebrated around the summer solstice, typically on a Friday between June 19 and June 25.
Midsommar celebrations actually have ancient origins, dating back to pre-Christian times. It is a celebration of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, which has been associated with fertility and the power of the sun.
Midsommarafton, or Midsummer Eve, is the main day of celebration. It usually involves family gatherings, outdoor activities, and feasting.
Midsommarstången, or the May Pole, is a central element of the celebration, a tall pole decorated with flowers and greenery. People dance around the maypole, performing traditional dances and singing songs.
Wearing flower crowns made of wildflowers is a common tradition, especially among women and children.
Traditional foods include pickled herring, new potatoes with fresh dill, sour cream, chives, and various grilled meats is a must during the feast. Strawberries and cream are often served as a dessert. Drinking schnapps and singing drinking songs, Snapsvisor, are also integral parts of the festivities.
