Heating the sauna
In bygone days the sauna was a sacred place to the Finns. Originally the sauna was built within the enclosure surrounding the farm buildings and its position on the lakeside only goes back to the early 20th century following the fashion of the gentry and upper-class villas. The sauna was usually heated only once a week. Heating a smoke sauna hot enough for several rounds of bathers took a whole day. A skilled hand was required to pick out the right wood, to lay the fire and to stock it with wood but the key quality of the fire tender was to have an unhurried attitude to the process and to making the birch-frond whisks. The slow pace of heating and correct way of making whisks were passed on from one generation to the next.Many rules of behaviour apply to bathing in the sauna. A Finnish proverb says that people should behave in the sauna as they do in church. Bathers are warned against shouting, cursing, telling tales, bad-mouthing and breaking wind in the sauna. Children were taught sauna manners though rules and warnings.
The widespread belief that mixed bathing is customary in Finland is unfounded, and runs counter to Finnish folk tradition. In a farming community, men and women took turns to bathe, and the joint family sauna is a later phenomenon. In the past, the farmer and his farmhands bathed first at the end of the day’s work in the fields and the farmer’s wife and farm women second, after they had milked the cows.
Finnish literature abounds with lively depictions of sauna scenes, one of the most famous being in Aleksis Kivi’s Seven Brothers, who were bathing and enjoying their Christmas ale on the hay of the smoke sauna until it suddenly caught fire! The novel is based on a rich folk tradition.
The sauna had many links with the passage of the agricultural year. It was the place where many key activities of the agricultural economy were performed: flax was dried, meat was cured and sausages smoked, malt was fermented and dried, seed potatoes were kept for sprouting and the laundry was washed. These seasonal events lasting several days involved the old and young of the family, working to the tune of folk poems and songs, including bawdy ballads. Tales were told, yarns spun and riddles posed.
The almanac noted special days significant in terms of the coming year’s fortunes, work and commerce, marriage agreements and the like. In Koivisto on the Karelian Isthmus, the New Year’s Eve sauna was heated very early in the morning before the dawn. The saying went that "work would get done in time all year as long as the smoke from the sauna rose up into the sky before the sun on New Year’s morning".
