According to folk legends, the short July night of Ivan Kupala (St. John the Baptist) - a very popular Slavic holiday -is when fern begins to bloom in the thick of the forest. This herb is believed to possess some magic power. He who finds it and tears away its flower shall forever be happy.... It is a very old tradition. All people sing Ukrainian songs & dance. Girls pick up flowers and put them on the surface on the river and if the flowers go down the river - the girls will marry and if the flowers go back to the girls that girl won\'t marry soon. The second part of Kupala game is jumping above the fire. It is dangerous but people like this game. This tradition is very popular in all Ukrainian villages.
