In this video, we take a look at the summer holiday known as "Midsummer", also called "St. John the Baptist's Day", which was once a holiday as popular as Christmas celebrated across Europe, and which remains popular in some areas today. We look at the customs and traditions, folklore elements, food, discuss why it so widely disappeared, where it didn't disappear, and more.
