In Finland, Easter is a happy mix of springtime fun and special traditions. As the snow starts to melt and the days get brighter, children dress up as little Easter witches with colourful scarves and freckles drawn on their cheeks. They go from door to door carrying decorated willow branches, wishing neighbours good luck and receiving candy in return. It’s a bit like Halloween, but with more feathers and fewer ghosts!
At the same time, Easter is also an important Christian holiday. Many families go to church and spend quiet time together, remembering the story of Easter and celebrating hope and new life. Homes are decorated with chicks, eggs, and bright spring colours, and families enjoy tasty treats like chocolate eggs and traditional Finnish desserts. It’s a cozy, joyful time that celebrates both the arrival of spring and togetherness. 🌷🥚
