As ozores waited for the shortest night of the year

Although traditionally for the shortest night of the year and the longest day, we call 23 June or Liga festival, however, the real summer sunshine is 21 June, when nature is living with its full maturity, moving from spring to summer. This day is considered the most magical and energetic. That is why we also decided in Ozolaine to organise a celebration event at the real time of the sunshine.
The day began with the creation of Jāņu crown, the making of royal bouquets and the twisting of the oak-leaf ropes to bring it to the celebration site, the Liga Mountain.
Now it has become a tradition of celebration to start with a free theatre show. This year, we took place in Rogovka's amateur theatre, with the original exhibition of Marutas Michchenko in a “sow family”, the subject of which belongs to the Treaties - about love, the finding of their real couple, and all of them are accompanied by the situation of each other.
We continued with a festival concert, which was discovered by the folklore “Zealand” with sound songs in the acordeon. The smart collective wives shared the Liga and Jesus Day beliefs, giving advice to the bridegrowers. But the People's dance set, “Jiga”, made the phocloristic introduction even more glorious with beautiful dances, with beautiful peoples and luxurious flower crowns.
The girls from the Feimaņiem horeograph in Smane, the dance collective “Fazira” and the small dancer club “caramel”, were pleased with their performances. The small dancers were pleased with the thematic dance in the “flower meadow”, as well as the dance performance on the first theme. On the other hand, the young girl, Fazira, spoke with a fun and amisant dance performance of “ganos”, temporarily moving all to the Austrian Alpine meadows, supplemented by the sound of the sound of jodeling and the behaviour of the unobedient Alpine grassland.
In parallel to songs, dances and various more serious and non-serious festival activities, festival festivals could also be involved in creative workshops. IN Ozolaines, the youth affairs specialists of the People's House and the florist Veronica Lazareva were able to create an ornate flower crown or learn to create a crown in a less traditional fashion. Nellija Kotebo and Jelizaveta Marianova, the leader of the People's House, formed the henna tattoos - Latvia's force signs. A scented, healthy and delicious herbal tea was cooked on the fire, under the direction of the members of the folklore “Zealand”, the various medicines and herbal herbal scientists Julia Colesnikova, and listened to the advice on the collection of herbs, because, as it is known, the plants harvested directly in the sunshine have the most powerful properties. But Galina Filipova and Eleanor Prokofyeva, members of the Senior Club of THE Ozolaines People's House, took care that everyone could see their eyes as the top Jāņu cheese and, in the ancient house, cooked a real rural sandwich. When the butter was cultivated, or in many places it was called, it was possible for everyone to participate in the butter process.
We invited the festival celebrators to share the knowledge of the Liga and the people of the peoples, as well as to respond to the various questions of the Liga Victoria, in return for the prizes that were useful for brushing and brushing. At the time of the event, it was revealed that 10 102 League and 51 549 Jānis had been registered or registered in Latvia, but one league and six Jānis had arrived at the Riga Hill. We then invited all the proud bearers on the stage to summon and enjoy special attention and festival gifts.
It was also the first time that we first announced the colourful crown competition, inviting girls, ladies, wives to rotate with an ornate flower, which is both the symbol of the sun and the traditional Festival property, and also, undoubtedly, the ornament of the furnace. Each crown was different, the large ointment of the peonies, the juicy red roses, the Ruth, the marrots, the oak leaves, and the red clover, even the branches of the woodstrawberries with all the berries - such a magnificent and diverse view of the crown of the crown. When they were dancing around the fire on the song “girl goltene”, the girls showed their crowns to the present, and it was with the viewers' ovation that it was also determined that the most pronounced owner of the crown was Malene Careva, the newest member of the folklore group “Zealand”. On the other hand, the men were invited to participate in the beer-drinking competition, followed by the beliefs of the folklore “Zealand” on beer and, of course, the beer song, as the Liga and Jāņu day were not conceivable either without cheese or without beer.
When the festival was sounded, Aldis Kice took over the trail, pleased with his musical skills and calling for everyone to be dancing at the Green party.
But when his feet were warm-up in Zalumma, we invited him to take part in an unfortunate event called “Love his wife Liga!”. According to one of Liga's traditions, the ancient celebrations were marked by three gates (crossed medals) - the first for John and the riders, the other for sunset, and the third for sunrise. Although there are only one gates in the Liga Mountain, they are beautiful and symbolically powerful: anyone who climbs the hill goes through the James Gate. A couple who first ran through these gates won't win his wife. This time, Borisov and Guntis Dunch flowed in the victory.
In earlier times, one of Liga's traditions was the wheel of a wheelchair from a mountain, supplemented by the running of the brighters. The wheel of the wagon, also known as the sun cart, was traditionally tied with a wall of pearls and prepared to burn and roll from the hill in sunset. This time preference was given to the younger generation, with great enthusiasm trying to beat not only opponents but also the burning wheel itself. Annie Guanne and Martin Ostash won the racing.
It was time for the sun to burn. We were invited to get together and walk together in a symbolic sunlight around the fire. For this time, the sound of the folklore's “Zealand” leader Inara Blinov's strong a 'Capella singing and the solemn fire of the solemn fire performed BY THE head of THE Ozolaines parish administration Edgars Blinovs gave a memorable sound. It all formed a very special atmosphere that we wanted to give to anyone who had arrived that night.
Through tradition, humor, power songs, dances and signs, interesting creative workshops and nostalgia of ancient ritual and culinary heritage - all of which we wanted to create inspiration for the celebration of Liga, because the true meaning of the sunshine and the past celebrations of their celebrations can bring much joy and make them special in modern festivals.
Thank everyone who put their hand in order for these festivals to succeed, both FOR the LEADERS and participants of THE Ozolaines People's House, both volunteers and counsellors. Thank you for all holiday visitors and activity participants! The power is in our own hands, the strength is in our own works, the strength is our own spirit and the strength is the desire to do! As long as there are people who wish to celebrate the festival beautifully, interesting and meaningful, the spirit of festival, the essence and, undoubtedly, the beautiful traditions of our anniversary, will live.
The Liga festival is celebrated, but it is not even behind the mountains at Ozolaines parish festival, which will be held on August 10, but will begin on the evening of the previous day with movies on THE parish presentation OF Ozolaines. The parish celebrates his 80-year anniversary this year, so it is the time to divorce history pages, show and talk about what our parish is today and what it was before. We still call on everyone to be involved in the history of history, sharing their stories, photos, videos, legends, and what we say, with everything that will help you explore the history of the parish. On August 10, when the day's work is done, we will gather together to sport, enjoy the cultural program, engage in creative workshops, as well as shopping in the Rēzekne District and the domestic market.
Santa Ostasha,
Ozolaines parish head of the People's House
