Description
Trinity spring with large rocks around it
Narrative
People drank the water at Trinity or Midsummer to get and keep healthy. You took seven sips of the water. The water had to run to the north, because that was where the evil lived. The week before Trinity, the spring was cleaned and decorated with pine branches. Over the spring, a crosshaped bow of birches was risen. On the Saturday evening at sunset, the drinking began and it proceeded until midnight.
