In Poland the Eve of St. John is fraught with miracles and magic. The earth shows the enchanted riches in its depths. In wild ravine the barren fern blooms. Certain plants take on magical properties. Flowers and grasses made into wreaths will forecast a maiden's fate. Wreaths to which candles are affixed are cast into waters so that their courses may be followed. From the course and fate of the wreaths inquiries of marriage are made. The special promise of St. John is youth, love and general fertility. Let us on this evening celebrate...

"With all its old accustomed state with joyous melody and song."
