Noche De San Juan - Puerto Rico This leaves a vivid memory of walking down the stairs to the beach in front of the Capital building, and submersing myself, into the water 3 times, alone under the moonlight. On the third time I was stuck in the foot, leaving two black spots that looked like a snake had bit me. I couldnt really walk on that foot for a couple weeks. On the island of Puerto Rico, originally named San Juan Batista, after the saint, by Christopher Columbus, a night-long celebration is held. After sunset, people travel to a beach or any accessible body of water (e.g. river, lake or even bathtub) and, at midnight, fall backwards into it three, seven or twelve times. This is done to cleanse the body from bad luck and give good luck for the following year.
