The long Easter weekend is finally upon us, heralding in the start of spring. Easter is an official Swedish holiday that provides two “red days” which allow us the opportunity to celebrate and spend time with family.
Known as “Påsk” in Swedish, Easter is a Christian holiday that occurs at different calendar days each year and has been celebrated in Sweden since 1844. Traditionally, the Swedish celebration of Easter includes a “Påskbord” which often serves eggs, lamb, and salmon. “Påskris” is a decorative component of the holiday which typically involves colorfully adorned twigs.
Hope you have a happy holiday weekend and – don’t forget – the warm weather will be coming soon!
