The Midsummer Festival

Every year on the 25th or 26th of June, the Swedish people celebrate a very interesting event. The Swedish Midsummer; back in the old days, today has the longest sun ever during their short summer days. Usually the sun would be visible for up to 10 hours on this day.

I like it during Midsummer. Everybody is merry, everybody is happy. You can feel it in the air that it is a celebration.

My mother-in-law usually prepare a lot of food on this day. Sometimes the whole neighborhood will be here, most of the time we have a big feast just within our family.

After the big feast, the tradition of drinking shnapps, or shots are consumed and then everybody became very loud and funny.

Prayer Times All Over The World
