This square invites us to celebrate a wedding in a Kalevala way. Let us toast to the fact that we have now three quarters of our squares ready!

Now we sing the wondrous legends, Songs of wedding-feasts and dances, Sing the melodies of wedlock, Sing the songs of old tradition; Sing of Ilmarinen's marriage To the Maiden of the Rainbow, Fairest daughter of the Northland, Sing the drinking-songs of Pohya.
Long prepared they for the wedding In Pohyola's halls and chambers, In the courts of Sariola
(Kalevala, Poem 20)
