St. John’s fire
It’s a bit unusual for a Protestant country to celebrate feast days, but Sankt Hans Aften (St. John’s Eve) in Denmark is probably more of a pagan rite commemorating summer solstice than a Christian one. Instead of splashing water, a bonfire is lit and the midsummer song is sung.
As the intermittent rain gave way to sunny skies, families flocked to parks to be part of the experience. Merry little bands touring Carlsberg Brewery and hitchhiking from Lejre Research Center: classic exchange student stories.
