Sorunda Midsummer Pole

The Sorunda Midsummer Pole is very different from a traditional Swedish Midsummer Pole. It is decorated with a few different symbols, including hollow eggs for good future fertility!. And also with Lily-of-the-valley leafs that are picked ten days before Midsummer. I visited the traditional celebrations at Prästgårdsparken today and took photos of the raising of the Midsummer Pole and of the traditional dancing.
