The role of water in the Kupala celebration \nit has always been extremely important. All the rituals of water of Midsummer, small plant \nvalue.<\/p>\n\n

Purified in this holiday in the first place by using swimming. It was always combined with jumping over Kupala bonfires<\/a>. In ancient times, water, as well as fire, were considered equivalent to the cleansing elements. In support of these words, it is enough to recall the folk custom of extinguishing fires caused by lightning not with water, but with milk. This, perhaps, is a remnant of pagan beliefs about fire and water as equivalent elements that should not be scolded among themselves.<\/p>\n\n

For the population mountain<\/a> in Transcarpathia on Ivan Kupala, the tradition of bathing in the morning before sunrise or with sunrise was characteristic.<\/p>\n

Although rituals vinkopletin and divination \non wreaths did not have a distribution in Transcarpathia, but here ethnographers recorded peculiar \nbeliefs in Kupala water not only as a means of predicting the future, but also as a factor \ninfluence on the fate of a person. So, gutsulka was on the dawn of Midsummer, a waterfall, \nsubstituted dried wheat crust and muttering various spells. Then the girl \nbrought home the cake, dried it, and then pushed it into small crumbs and stealthily \nspiked their dishes on a guy she wanted to charm into marrying him.<\/p>\n\n

On the territory of Transcarpathia there was a custom, \nwhich forbade bathing to Ivan kupal, and the day of the Kupala celebration began, \nso to speak, the bathing season. On Ivan Kupala, people bathed EN masse. To the Lee river \nthe other reservoir was all old and small.<\/p>\n\n

Bathing season, according to folk traditions, \nit lasted from Ivan to Ilya (August 2 to the present day). such borders for the climate of our region \nare reasonable and justified: before the beginning of July and from the middle of August, water is no longer sufficient \nheat, which could cause various colds. Therefore, it is customary to bathe \nfrom Ivan to Ilya, mystical moments are intertwined with rational expediency, with \nreal practical life experience of the people.<\/p>\n\n
