Early Finns lit bonfires to drive away evil spirits and ensure a good harvest. Divination rituals\, especially those predicting marriage and love\, were common. \nWith the Christianization of Finland (from the 12th century onward)\, Midsummer was linked to the feast of St. John the Baptist.  \nThe Finnish name Juhannus for Midsummer Day comes from Johannes\, the Finnish form of John. Pagan customs such as bonfires and love charms continued\, but were reinterpreted in a Christian context. \nIn the 19th century\, Midsummer became associated not only with the solstice but also with Finnish national identity. \nIn 1934\, Midsummer was officially declared a public holiday in Finland. \nSince 1955\, Midsummer has been celebrated on the Saturday between June 20 and 26. That same year\, it was also designated as the Day of the Finnish Flag\, with the national flag flown continuously from Midsummer Eve evening until the following night.
