The favourite holiday, which closes the summer solar cycle of pre-Christian holidays, is the holiday of the youth – Kupalo or Kupaylo. Kupaylo was celebrated on June 22-23 during the summer solstice: in the evening, at night and on the very day of Kupalo. The holiday was celebrated in the period when the sun was in zenith. All vegetation would reach its climax, everything would grow, blossom, multiply, rejoice life.
One of the Kupalo customs is the circle dance. Following this rite, the participants of the ritual decorate the trees, which represent Kupaylo and Marena – the masculine and feminine symbols.
The event will be held in Uzhgorod on Botanichna embankment from 19.00 to 23.00.
