The Danes celebrate the shortest night with bonfires and songs and the burning of a wicked witch.
The night of June 23 marks Midsummer: the middle of summer for the Danes but above all the shortest night of the year. It so happens that the solar calendar here is much shorter than that of the Latins. Once again, they celebrate the light by gathering around a bonfire, singing Midsommervisen at the top of their voices and burning a female effigy. A superstition from the Middle Ages, a witch hunt was organized on the presumed day of birth of St. John the Baptist!
