Alicia with Easter preparation
April is the fourth month of the year. It has 30 days. In school we talk about the Easter and have arts and crafts related to the Easter.
The first day of April is the day when you get to fool your friends. Our teacher fooled us and told us to take of our socks because the school nurse was going to examine our feets. But of course it was all just a joke.
In April the spring begins in Sweden. The snow melts and the sun stays up longer every day. The 30th of April is the traditional spring festival Walpurgis Night, Valborgsmässoafton in Swedish. We celebrate this day and night by lighting up big fires all over the country and singing traditional songs to welcome the spring
Easter eggs filled with sweets Easter eggs or spring eggs is an old tradition to celebrate Easter or springtime. In many families we decorate our eggs before eating a lot of them. ;-) A modern custom is to fill big decorated cardboard eggs with sweets. These eggs are often hidden by their parents or the Easter bunny for the children to find on Easter morning. .
It's interesting that every culture has a bonfire day. In our case we have one to celebrate Saint Lucy in the evening of the 12th of December.
