Jónsmessa, 24 June, is the feast of St John the Baptist and an old midsummer festival. Icelandic folklore runs deep on this night: the dew is said to have healing powers - rolling naked in it is traditionally recommended - cows speak, and wishing stones may be found. It falls at the brightest time of the Icelandic year, when night never truly comes.
