What is St. John's Eve?

St. John's Eve on June 23 is a mystical night celebrating the birth of John the Baptist — one of the few saints honoured on their birth rather than death. Communities across Spain, Portugal, Scandinavia, and Latin America mark the night with bonfires, herb gathering, and water rituals, blending centuries of Christian, folk, and solstice traditions into one spectacular celebration.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
