Teachers from the Latvian School in Reykjav\u00edk<\/em> will be in charge of teaching how to make handmade flowercrowns from wild Icelandic flowers through out the festival.<\/p>\n

Making flower crowns is also a Latvian tradition related to midsummer that is called J\u0101\u0146i<\/em> in Latvian. The celebrations include a great many ancient practices, including decorating the home with ferns, fragrant grasses, and freshly picked flowers, singing special solstice songs, lighting bonfires, and preparing traditional foods. Midsummer was originally a pagan agricultural festival that existed long before the arrival of Christianity in the Baltics, but the traditions associated with it remain immensely popular to this day.<\/p>\n
