„Midsummer, or the summer solstice, has been celebrated in June in the Nordics in many different ways for centuries. In Denmark, it is celebrated on the evening of 23 June with Sankthansaften, a night of gatherings, parties, singing and bonfires ahead of the official day of Sankt Hans on the 24 June. It is described by Olaus Magnus, who chronicled the history of the Nordic peoples in 1555, as a gathering, in squares or fields, of people “without distinction of sex or age” to burn fires, dance and sing.”
