30+ Funny pictures, mystical Summer Solstice greeting cards

The summer solstice, which falls on June 21, has been considered a turning point since ancient times. Our ancestors believed that this day affects every person. Therefore, many magical properties were attributed to him, accompanying the holiday with various rituals and rituals. Nowadays it is also customary to congratulate each other on the summer solstice, emphasizing the close connection with nature. Especially for this day, Izvestia has prepared beautiful postcards and greetings that will help best convey the feeling of a special day of the year.

The day of the summer solstice has the longest daylight, which is then followed by the shortest night. At the same time, it seems that the celestial body seemed to freeze at the zenith and remains motionless throughout the daylight hours.

This effect is caused by the tilt of the earth's axis. Rotating around the Sun, the Earth is tilted towards the Sun as much as possible, which leads to the greatest illumination in the Northern Hemisphere. Since that time, the astronomical summer begins here. Every year, the phenomenon is observed twice a year: from June 19 to 22 and from December 20 to December 23 — on the day of the winter solstice, when the longest night of the year begins.

Each of these events has been widely reflected in the cultures of the peoples of the world, because the sun has always played an important role in people's lives, and in the pre-Christian era, the luminary was revered as the supreme deity on whom the well-being of all life on earth depended.

The Slavs used to have the main holiday of summer, Kupala, on the day of the summer solstice. In modern tradition, it is celebrated on July 7 in a new style and is timed to coincide with the birthday of John the Baptist (the Forerunner). However, it still retains pagan and Christian traditions.

On this day, our ancestors lit bonfires, which were believed to enhance the power of the sun and allow us to purify ourselves from negative energy. In Russia, there was a tradition of jumping over bonfires and bathing in ponds, which also symbolized purification and renewal.

Another important custom is the collection of medicinal herbs. In the old days, they believed that on the day of the summer solstice they had a special healing power. In addition, fortune-telling and various rituals for love and fertility were performed in the villages.

Today, in order to join the ancient celebration, it is not necessary to build bonfires and follow other customs. If the weather permits, you can go to nature, swim in a river or lake, and then drink fragrant herbal tea. Of course, it is important not to forget to congratulate your loved ones on this unique day.

The easiest way to remember the holiday is to send a greeting card with warm wishes on social networks or messengers: Telegram, Viber or WatsApp (owned by Meta, whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).
