Among all the names, Juan may be one of the ones who star on most days of the saints. It is amazing to see how many days of the year an onomastic related to a saint with this name is celebrated. More than 15 days a year! Imagine that all those days came together in the same month... we would spend at least half a month celebrating this saint's day!
Among all these dates, we would like to highlight two in particular for their relevance. On the one hand, on June 24 when the day of San Juan Bautista is celebrated. This day is celebrated in some countries because, in addition to celebrating Saint Juan's name day, on these days the arrival of summer in the northern hemisphere occurs. In Spain, for example, bonfires are lit on the beaches that, when jumped, bring good luck and grant the wishes you ask for.
On the other hand, we talk about December 27, the date on which we celebrate Saint Juan the Evangelist. Several miracles are attributed to this saint, who in addition to being the author of the Gospel of Juan wrote the Apocalypse, such as drinking a cup of wine with poison without anything happening to him.
