Glad Påsk - Happy Easter!




In Sweden there is an interesting Eastertime tradition. On Thursday of Holy Week, little kids dress up like Easter Witches, draw pictures for their family, relatives, neighbors, and then go ring the doorbell. In exchange for the picture, they get godis (candy). Here is Haylie this year and last year, in her Påskkärring outfits. Then at midnight, legend has it that the witches fly off to Blåkulla (Blue Mountain).
