We say "I caught May".
Then, hang it out of the house door or on the balcony.
The dried wreath will be thrown in one of the fires
that people light in the streets,
in June, on St John's day.
...we arrived at the light. And the light cannot be explained; it can only be seen... (Giorgos Seferis)

Looks good and nice tradition!
I think there was a similar tradition here, but probably was lost with the new generations.
I like traditions!
I am afraid that the second part-the burning of the wreath, is not performed widely any more.
What a interesting tradition...really lovely!
