Poppy Day, also known as the Day of the Seven Sleepers, is celebrated every year on July 27th. The traditions associated with it are very old and date back to a legend of seven martyrs who tell of seven Christian men who lived in the 200s. To escape persecution, the men distributed their possessions to the poor of the city and hid in a cave. When the emperor learned of this, he broke into the cave's mouth to make the men die of hunger and thirst. They fell into such a deep sleep that they slept for 200 years. Poppy Day has been celebrated in Finland since the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one who woke up last could be the target of junk. It is known that the Hanko swimming club used to be the last person to arrive for breakfast at the Observatory. The Observatory was later called Brunnshuset and now the Casino. The modern traditions of Poppy Day are inherited from the end of the 19th century, when during the spa culture the day was part of the program of summer swimming guests. With the outbreak of World War I and the difficult years that followed, the tradition died almost completely. In the 1920s, the spirit of Hanko's swimming culture changed. Gone were the peaceful walks along the promenades along the beaches and the peaceful seating on the terraces. Hanko was now coming after the pace and dangerous situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
