An island wide event, this tradition occurs on June 24th. Saint John the Baptist was born on June 24th, and people celebrate it with a specific tradition. People will be on the beach, and then will fall backwards into the water. The water is said to be “blessed” and will supposedly bless you or ward off evil. Many people will dunk themselves into the water 3 times, but some will dunk themselves 7 or even 12 times. Even if you don’t believe in this tradition, it’s still very fun to participate.
