The Night of Ivana Kupala

Today's episode is about the night of Ivana Kupala - a celebration and holiday in Ukraine that stems from pagan rites and beliefs. Jumping over bonfires, honoring the pagan god of the sun, and singing enchantments are all part of the 3000-year-old holiday.

The background music in today's episode is "Hutsul Triptych: Hutsuls'ky tryptykh (Hutsul Triptych): I. Dytynstvo (Childhood)" by Myroslav Skoryk, and the music at the end of the episode is "Oy na Ivana ta y na Kupala" by Pisni Dzherela.
