The evening before St. Ivan’s Day the
lasses put flowers around a cauldron, cover it with a cloth
and they decorate it as a bride. They put the cauldron on the
head of a lass and the other girls gather around her, holding hands.
The taller ones stand in the front and the shorter ones are in
the rear. Lined up like that they go around the springs and
sing songs. People give them flour, money and etc.
In some regions they put their rings in the cauldron and by the
darkness of the rings material they can tell which
lass will get married first.
