Līgo 2009 // Midsummer's night in Latvia 2009
I think I had more interesting "Līgo" when I was a child. Then youth and older people celebrated it better! and I always thought it will be the same to me when I grow up. So, kind of wish that Latvia was stuck in 90s - because while we were trying to reach the modern life, the same time we paid attention to keep our nationality and our treasures of culture - the vivid and strong traditions what we have. But in present a lot aprents have not paid attention to teach their kids (my generation and younger) to respect their country/nationality and its culture.
But however, some people are still doing traditional Midusmmer's night, only we have forgotten why we do all these interesting (and strange things to Western world) that actually; there's no one who could tell us, sadly.
