Now this ancient pagan holiday is celebrated on the night of July 6-7, and old style, it fell on June 23-24, the days of the summer solstice.

Among the ancient Slavs, this day was dedicated to the pagan god Kupala, but after the baptism of Rus' they began to associate it with the feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist. So day Kupala turned into Ivan Kupala Day. On the magical night before Ivanova During the day, many rituals were celebrated, and all of them were associated with water, fire and herbs.

Some pagans will certainly swam that night to cleanse themselves, others, on the contrary, believed swimming is dangerous, because on Kupala The merman was celebrating his name day, who really didn’t like it when "muddied the waters", and drowned everyone who dared to enter his domain.

On the night of Bonfires burned Ivan Kupala: they, like water, had a cleansing power. They danced around the fires, jumped over the fires, threw mothers into Kupala bonfires the clothes of sick children, so that illnesses are burned along with them. Around the slowly burning fires they played noisy games, ran races, played with burners, sang, in a word, had as much fun as they could. That night the main thing was not to fall asleep, because evil spirits of all stripes were in a hurry to take advantage of the shortest night of the year - mermaids, werewolves, goblins, witches and sorcerers.

IN Ivanov day they collected flowers and herbs that had healing properties force: it was believed that they would save from illness, drive away evil spirits, bewitch, and ward off. There was also a belief that on the night of Ivana Kupala the fern blooms, and in those few moments that the flower blooms, you can see all the treasures, no matter how deep they are hidden underground. However, it was believed that treasures found with the help of evil spirits did not bring people happiness. N.V. Gogol spoke about one such ill-fated treasure hunter in his story "The evening before Ivan Kupala» , picturesque and eerie, like the holiday itself.

What to do on the night Ivana Kupala?

The best thing, of course, is to go to bed on time. You definitely shouldn’t wait for the fern to bloom. It’s better to burn bonfires with adults, but if they don’t want to keep you company and you don’t want to sleep at all, here are a few ways to become like your pagan ancestors.

You can climb over twelve vegetable gardens - then all your wishes will come true. You can pick a flower Ivan-yes-Marya and put it in a corner at the dacha - then a thief will not enter the house, because the brother and sister (that is, Ivan and Marya, or yellow and purple flowers of the plant) will talk to each other, and the thief will think that there is someone in the house. If you are afraid of witches, who become especially dangerous on this night, pick some nettles and place them on the threshold and on the windowsills. Be careful not to get burned - nettle is much more real than a witch!

The night before You can tell fortunes about Ivan Kupala, for example, lower wreaths with a lit candle onto the river. The one whose wreath floats the farthest will be the happiest, and the one whose candle burns the longest will live a long life. You can also pour water into a wide and deep basin, at sunset, whisper your wish to the water and throw a pebble into the basin. If the number of circles is even, the wish will come true; if it is odd, it means it’s not destiny. Remember, there is little difference between even and odd numbers - you can always see one extra circle if you want!

Celebration of Ivan Kupala

Guys! Your favorite day is approaching - Ivan Kupala. If you are interested in finding out why this day is called that and how it was celebrated in the old days, then we will now find out everything!

Ivan Kupala (Midsummer Night, Midsummer Day) is one of the main holidays of the Slavic calendar, the day of the Nativity of John the Baptist, the day of the summer solstice.

The pre-Christian name of the holiday is unknown. The name Ivan Kupala is of Christian origin and is a folk Slavic version of the name John the Baptist - translated as “bather, immerser.” This name of the holiday was also due to Slavic ideas: it meant ritual ablution, cleansing, which was carried out in open reservoirs. Therefore, on the one hand, this particular verb was used to translate the epithet “baptist”, and on the other hand, the name of the holiday was later reinterpreted by folk etymology and linked to ritual bathing in rivers during this holiday. Story

Rituals of the Midsummer holiday is filled with rituals associated with water, fire and herbs. The main part of Kupala rituals takes place at night.

Water A mandatory custom on Ivan's Day was mass bathing: from this day on, all evil spirits came out of the rivers, so until Ilya's Day one could swim without fear. In addition, Midsummer water was endowed with life-giving and magical properties. In places where there was a ban on swimming in rivers (due to the same evil spirits), they bathed in holy springs. In the Russian North, on Midsummer's day, baths were heated, in which they washed and steamed, brewing herbs collected on this day and using Ivanovo brooms. Both water and herbs on Midsummer's Day were endowed with magical powers, so their use was supposed to endow a person with vitality and health. On this holiday, according to popular belief, water can be “friends” with fire, and their union is considered a natural force. The symbol of such a connection is the bonfires along the banks of the rivers that were burned on this day.

fire The main feature of the Kupala night is the cleansing bonfires. People danced around them and jumped over them: whoever jumps more successfully and higher will be happier. In some places, livestock was driven through the Kupala fire to protect it from pestilence. In the Kupala bonfires, mothers burned the shirts taken from their sick children, so that illnesses would be burned along with this linen. Young people and children, jumping over the fires, had noisy fun games and races.

herbs Fern (Male shield) A characteristic sign of Ivan Kupala is numerous customs and legends associated with the plant world. Herbs and flowers collected on Midsummer's Day are placed under Midsummer's dew, dried and preserved, considering such herbs to be more healing. They fumigate the sick, fight evil spirits, throw them into a flooded oven during a thunderstorm to protect the house from a lightning strike, and use them to kindle love or to “dry it out.” The main hero of the plant world on Midsummer's Day was the fern, with which legends about treasures were universally associated. With a fern flower appearing for just a few moments at midnight on Midsummer, you can see all the treasures, no matter how deep in the ground they are.

Ivan-da-Marya (Maryannik Oak) In addition, one of the main symbols of Midsummer’s Day was the Ivan-da-Marya flower, which symbolized the magical union of fire and water. Ivan Maryu called to the bathhouse. Where Ivan swam - The shore swayed. Where Marya swam - The grass spread out. Ivan was swimming and fell into the water.

customs 1. On the night before Ivan Kupala, girls lower wreaths with lighted splinters or candles onto the river waves, weave wreaths from Ivan da Marya, burdock, Bogorodskaya grass and bear's ear. If the wreath sinks immediately, it means that the betrothed has fallen out of love and cannot marry him. The one whose wreath floats the longest will be the happiest, and the one whose wreath burns the longest will live a long, long life.

2. On Midsummer night, witches become more dangerous, and therefore you should place nettles on the threshold and on windowsills to protect yourself from their attacks. It is necessary to lock the horses so that the witches do not steal them and ride them to Bald Mountain: the horse will not return from there alive.

3. On Midsummer night, oil is collected in a vessel on ant heaps, which is considered a healing agent against various ailments. 4. On Kupala night, trees move from place to place and talk to each other through the rustling of leaves; Animals and even herbs talk to each other, which are filled with special, miraculous power that night.

5. If on this night you pick an Ivan da Marya flower and put it in the corners of the hut, the thief will not approach the house: the brother and sister (yellow and purple flowers of the plant) will talk to each other, and the thief will think that the owner and the mistress are talking.
