People jump over a bonfire during festivities marking Ivan Kupala day, a pagan summer solstice celebration, in Kiev, Ukraine, on Saturday. The traditional festival celebrates the summer solstice with overnight festivities such as people singing and dancing before jumping over campfires, as they believe it will purge them of their sins and make them healthier. It is celebrated in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus and Russia during the night from July 6 to 7.Xinhua/European Pressphoto Agency .Xinhua/European Pressphoto Agency |
