DESCRIPTION:

Way back, say, a thousand years ago, the people living in what is now Ukraine were pagan and worshiped many gods instead of one.
Then, Christianity came around and imposed its saints, holidays and traditions, displacing the pagan rituals that were in place before, like Halloween for instance.
The Ukrainian holiday of Ivana Kupala dates, perhaps, a thousand years back to the pagan festivities when people worshiped the gods of water and prayed for rain.
It seems that much has changed throughout the passing centuries... but not if you look closer.

This is the Ivana Kupala fest in Vinnitsa. A fireman is spraying water out of a firehose on the crowd.

I'm eccentric, strange and sometimes just plain weird, but I'm passionate about what I do, and in the end that's all that really matters.
