Glad Påsk from Sweden

Happy Easter from Sweden!
Here are some of the festive traditions we've experienced over the long weekend: visiting the Easter market, decorating the påskris, painting eggs and becoming the witch (face painting). We've learnt so much about the Swedish culture while we've been here, particular over Easter.













Easter in Sweden is a secular holiday, where it is tradition for children to to paint their faces and dress up as witches to go door knocking for candy. Sound familiar...?
