EASTER WITCHES (påskkärring) :: BRUXAS da PÁSCOA (påskkärring)
Na Suécia a criançada veste-se toda de "bruxa da Páscoa". Lenços na cabeça, maçãs rosadas, saias longas, roupas velhas e vassouras. E tal como no Halloween Americano vão de porta em porta com cestas e um monte de desenhos que trocam por guloseimas.
Qual é a origem disto? Bom...Conta a lenda que na Páscoa as bruxas pegam nas suas vassouras e voam até uma longinqua montanha Alemã onde vão dançar com o diabo.
Como é que alguém se lembrou de vestir as crianças de bruxas para irem dançar com o diabo é que eu já não sei. Mas tudo isto tem tanto de engraçado como de confuso e... Olhem para as caras delas.
Não há dúvida que se estão a divertir à brava!
Bem vindos à Suécia.
E... ^^ Glåd Pask a todos!

In Sweden children dress up like Easter witches, with rosy cheeks, head scarves, long skirts and broomsticks. And just like in Halloween in America they go door to door with baskets and a handful of drawings to exchange for candy treats.
Why do they do that? Well, according to Swedish folklore during Easter the witches fly on their broom sticks and go to a mountain in Germany to dance with the devil.
Why someone thought it would be fun to dress kids up to go to a far away mountain to dance with the devil is a bit confusing to me. But I'm pretty sure there's a good reason and look at their faces. Aren't they having a good time? I find it very odd but sweet at the same time.

Welcome to Sweden.
