Jumping over bonfires is a traditional activity during the Slavic celebrations of the Kupala Night (also known under different names for example Sobótki in many parts of Poland). It’s a part of a ritual in which the bravery and faith are tested, but also a popular way to impress the beloved person during that unique night of the year. Couples or friends could try to jump over the bonfire together, holding hands, as a test of their compatibility and cooperation - if failed or let go of the hands, the couple was seen as destined to separate.
