Happy Easter to everybody!
On Easter in Sweden we do not only celebrate the
resurrection of Jesus. We also celebrate that the winter is finally over and that the spring is coming. This comes from the Vikings, e a old pre-Christian religion in Sweden that still lives when it comes to certain traditions. We then decorate our houses with feathers in bright colours, Yellow flowers, and chickens. We eat a lot of eggs. That is a tradition after fasting for 40 days then you needed to eat a lot and eggs would get spoiled if you didn't eat them fast. So you see, we have both pre-Christian and Christian traditions when it comes to Easter!

In the evning I went to a friend of mine for a Easter party. All of us that were invited had some food with us so we all shared. For Easter we eat eggs, as I wrote before, and salmon, herring, meatballs, susages, bread, cheese and potatoes. The children gets Easter eggs that are filled with candy! We hid them in the house and then the children had to go find them! That is a tradition that the children likes very much!
Today, on Easter Sunday my nieces will come here and we will eat some more food. After that we will "Roll eggs". I will tell you more about that tomorrow!
See you then!
