[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 592825, member: 14557"] The origin is of course pagan and Church tried to make old pagan Holidays Christian (not that I remember what Christian saint we are supposed to celebrate in Walburgis, or well Walburg, but no idea why :winking:) But we are not making much cow magic either any more, so it is mostly secular. Students and workers are celebrated but mostly we are celebrating spring. On our pagan Holidays All Saints Day is best Christianized (you are the ones who are going pagan then) and while we do have our pagan Christmas traditions, it is also very Christianized. Walburgis is secular and with Midsummer we are really grasping to our inner pagans and it is our second biggest Holiday after Christmas. Fun thing is that while in Walburgis also us who live rural areas go to cities and occupy parks for picnic etc. in Midsummer our cities are totally deserted. Only few foreign tourists and recent immigrants get left behind when we rush to our boats and summer cottages and country side to worship sun and light and summer and nature. I do hate it when it comes from people, who really are out from whole situation, don't know what is going on etc. E.g. those people who came to tell us how we should plan our son's career during the picnic. I have more patience for those who called. They are all involved, in-the-know and they do have an interest for him and his career. And I kind of understand their need to vent. They deal with difficult child and do worry for him and difficult child really can be extra difficult. And they do try to help difficult child in their own ways. I think that at times it is just very difficult for all of us to see the line between can't and won't with difficult child. And I'm not sure does even difficult child himself know at times. And while difficult child is a legal adult, he is so terribly immature and behind his chronological age both biologically and even more so emotionally that at times he just screams a need to be parented. And it is very frustrating to all of us, not only me and husband. [/QUOTE]
