Sanziana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanziana is the name of a flower and also the name for a group of young, nice girl-spirits. People in the Western Carpatian Mountains celebrate the "Sanziene" holiday on June 24th, every year. This is similar to the Swedish Midsummer holiday. It may be a pagan celebration of the summer solstice in June. Alternatively, church's opinion is that it celebrates the birthday of Saint John the Baptist, which also falls on June 24th.See also Iele.
