ʻO'Ivan Kupala - kahi lālani Slavic kahiko, a pili pololei me ka mana kilokilo. Ma kēia lā, i alakaʻiʻia e ka'ōlelo a nā Koa kiʻekiʻe loa, ua wānana nā kānaka i ka wā e hiki mai ana, e hoʻohana ana no kēia kumuhana i nā hananaʻano kūlohelohe a me nāʻano o nā lā a pau. ʻO kekahi laʻana, kaulana ka lahaʻo'Ivan Kupala e pili ana i ka ua. Ma waho aʻe o kaʻilikai i kēia lā, hiki iā ia ke wānana i nā hanana likeʻole i ke ola a me ka makemake nui e lilo i meaʻoiaʻiʻo.
Nā hōʻailona ma luna o'Ivan Kupala, inā e ua
He pilina kēia launa me ka solstice hōʻoluʻolu, no laila kona hōʻailona nui ka element o ke ahi, akāʻo ka lua o ka mea nui ka wai. ʻO ia ke kumu i nui ai nā manaʻo kuʻuna a me nā kuʻuna e pili ana me ia.
He kaulana kaulana i'Ivan Kupala - inā ma kēia lā ua hoʻomaka ka ua, a laila i loko o ka hebedoma e hoʻokumuʻia ke kau wela a e mau ka wela a hiki i ka hopena o ke kauwela. Inā maopopo ka lewa aʻikeʻoe pehea e pā ai nā kukuna o ka lā,ʻo ia hoʻi, e lōʻihi ka wela a hiki i ka manawa e hiki ai ke kau. ʻO ka ua ma luna o'Ivan Kupala he'ōlelo hōʻailona hoʻi ia i ka makahiki maikaʻi loa o ka palaoa. Ma waena o nā kauhale o Hutssel, kahi'ē aʻe e pili ana i ka lewa, no ka mea, uaʻike lākou ma hope iho o ka hekiliʻana i nā hekili a me nā uila eʻikeʻia ana, a no ka wā o kaʻahaʻaina, he mau hekili e holo ai ka uila i ka honua. Inā e komo ka ugorazdilo i ka ua ma luna o'Ivan Kupala - he hōʻailona maikaʻi kēia,ʻo ia hoʻi, i ka wā e hiki mai ana, hiki iāʻoe ke helu i ka luʻu.
