Перевод:

Купалье, день летнего солнцестояния ['sɔlstəs] (21 июня), — это самый (1) любимый и отмечаемый языческий (2) праздник в современной Беларуси, существующий на протяжении веков. Его празднование предлагает целый комплекс (3) традиционных ритуалов ['rɪtʃuəlz], верований, любви и магии. Как и в древние времена, Купалье (4) празднуется в ночь с 6 на 7 июля.

Много лет назад молодые девушки ходили на луга собирать растения и травы – васильки, папоротники¹ и т. д. – днём 6 июля. (5) Считалось, что растения, собранные в это время, обладают особой магией и (6) силой и могут (7) защитить людей и их дома от болезней и злых духов. Поэтому некоторые из этих растений использовались в (8) еде, некоторые вывешивались на стены домов, а некоторые использовались в венках², которые носили на голове молодые мужчины и женщины во время купальского (9) празднования.

Центральной частью празднования Купалья был костёр, который символизировал жизнь и Ярилу и отгонял смерть. Днём юноши готовили место для разведения костра. Они ходили по деревне, (10) собирая старые вещи – одежду, сломанные бочки – и выносили их на место, выбранное для празднества. Обычно это был луг, лесная поляна (поляна) или берег реки. Промасленное деревянное колесо поджигали, чтобы символизировать солнце. Люди бодрствовали до раннего утра.

В ту ночь они следовали множеству обычаев, включая обряды очищения (ритуалы очищения) во время празднования – (11) прыжки через костёр, купание в реке, катание по росе на траве¹. Они брались за руки и (12) танцевали в хороводах, соревновались в силе, гадали и искали цветущий цветок папоротника – «Папараць-кветка». Считалось удачей, если пара (пара) могла его найти: они будут жить (13) счастливо до конца своих дней.

Особая ритуальная еда (14) готовилась на костре – яичница (яйцо символизировало и солнце, и жизнь), кулага (вид пудинга из пшеничной муки), вареники (вареники с начинкой из ягод – черники, вишни и малины).

Многие из этих традиций соблюдаются и сегодня.
