In Finland, Midsummer night is so short 2 as that evening dusk flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed. Even in 3 southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight . 4 Midsummer night was the most of all, the celeberation of greenery and 5 fruit. Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never - ending. It was 6 customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors on 7 Midsummer Eve. Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with 8 birch branches and flower garlands. This indoor forest was complete when 9 leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma. Midsummer is 10 still the Finn’ most important one summer celebration. They gather together 11 around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends 12 themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flower garlands and 13 leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old ceremonies are 14 now performed only for fun, Midsummer right as bathed in the strange 15 white light of the North, is still mysterious.
