XRP On June 21, they celebrate the Day of the Summer Solstice, the Day of the Solstice, or the holiday of Litha. The shortest night and the longest day of the year arrive. In different beliefs, this holiday is called by various names: Summer Solstice, Litha, Ivan Kupala, Yarilin Day, Holiday of Dew. The solstice is a moment in the Earth's annual rotation around the Sun when the shortest day or the longest night is observed. Our ancestors attributed special energy and magical properties to this day from ancient times. Stories and Legends For pagans, the sun had divine power over all living things, and the summer solstice signified the highest bloom of all the forces of nature, embodied in the abundance of ripening crops. Herbs gain strength, and the plants are filled with energy. On this day, my grandmother would fill the house with herbs - lavender, chamomile, St. John's wort, nettle root - hair and body smelled of herbs for several weeks.
