It is not just a midsummer celebration for us as - over the centuries, Latvia has been invaded by Swedes, Russians, Germans (with the Russians and the Germans even coming back for a second go) and ancient traditions helped Latvians hang on to their sense of national identity, even in the darkest days of foreign occupation.
