Saint John's Day Bonfire Celebration In Normandy

SAINT-PAUL-DU-VERNEY, FRANCE - JUNE 17, 2023: The Saint-John's fire in Saint-Paul-du-Vernay, Calvados, France, on June 17, 2023. The Feast of Saint John, celebrated on June 24th, is a traditional event marked by bonfires. It originally had pagan roots and was associated with sun worship. Over time, the Catholic Church Christianized the celebration by dedicating it to Saint John the Baptist. The feast coincides with the summer solstice, and ancient customs such as lighting fires at crossroads and fields persisted until the 19th century in parts of Europe. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
