"The festivities of Kupala Night are just beginning when Liska Radost leaves the village behind. Her eyes prick with tears as she takes a final look over her shoulder. A gust of wind snags at her shawl, threatening to devour the flame of her lantern. This night, the solstice, should belong to revelry beneath a broad summer moon. It is the night unmarried girls weave crowns of wildflowers and float them down the river for the local boys to chase, the night that folk songs are sung to the roar of a bonfire, the night when villages pray to God for fertile feilds and livestock and view.s But most importantly, it is the night that, according to legend, the fern flower will bloom."-Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek
