Jāņi is the Latvian festival that celebrates the summer solstice each year.
The holiday is commonly associated with Līgo evening on June 23 and Jāņi Day on June 24. Its roots reach back to pre-Christian seasonal customs, although the modern celebration exists within Latvia’s later Christian and national traditions.
People commonly mark Jāņi with bonfires, singing, dancing, wreath-making, herbs, beer, and caraway cheese. Celebrants may stay awake until sunrise, and couples traditionally leap over the bonfire. Folklore also tells of a mythical fern flower that blooms only on Jāņi night.
The wrong options refer to other seasonal or religious observances. Lieldienas is Easter, while Miķeļi is an autumn harvest festival and Meteņi is associated with the late-winter seasonal turn.
