The custom of “Kleethonas” in Santorini
In the Christian tradition, the 24th of June is the day of Birth of St. John the Baptist. In Greece, the celebration of this day was connected over the centuries with 2 particular customs; the so-called “kleethonas” (<gr. «κλήδονας»>) and the jumping over open fires that are lit in the countryside. They both survive from antiquity and were originally related to the summer solstice as part of the celebrations of the farmers for a good crop.
