Editing Midsummer (section)

=== Poland ===
Especially in northern [[Poland]] – the Eastern Pomeranian and [[Kashubia]]n regions – midsummer is celebrated on 21 or 22 June. Girls throw wreaths made of flowers and candles into the [[Baltic Sea]], and into lakes or rivers. The Midsummer day celebration starts at about 8:00&nbsp;p.m. and lasts all night until sunrise. People celebrate this special day every year and call it ''Noc Świętojańska'' which means St. John's Night. On that day in big [[Poland|Polish]] cities (like [[Warsaw]] and [[Kraków]]), there are many organized events, the most popular event being in [[Kraków]], called the ''[[Wianki]],'' which means wreaths. In many parts of Poland, the Summer solstice is celebrated as ''[[Kupala Night]]''. Also, an important tradition is looking in the forest for the flower of the fern (as fern does not flower, this means something impossible to find without an interference of magic). Jumping above bonfires used to be a widely spread custom too.{{cn|date=May 2024}}
