Twigs with coloured feathers.
Where used during the Lent to wake up your neighbours.
The custom could have a pagan origin
since they belived that the one who got "smacked"
got the powers from the tree it was taken from.
First it was decorated with ribbons and paperflowers
but during the 1930:s the feathers came.
"Semla"
Was a part of the gluttony after the lent.
They came from Germany and where buns with cummin on.
Now they are buns with whipped cream and marzipan.
the name semla came from latin "simila" wich means "bun of wheatmeal"
Easterwitch
Origin in a day called "skärtorsdagen"
A long time ago they thougth that in the second Juda betrayed Jesus
evil powers where set free.
During the 1600:s a big witchhunt took place here
and both men and women where killed accused of
partying with satan on this special thursday before easter.
Eastertwigs
Where used to "whip" each other on Good Fridays morning
A reminder of Jesu suffering
This custom has been in Sweden since 1600.
In the 1930:s they started to decorated the twigs
feathers, eggs and other easterthings
Egg 
Is a symbol of death and commotion
The shell of the egg is a picture of the grave and a symbol for the new life.
when the chicken is growing inside the egg it cracks the "grave"
This time of year when it became lighter
and lighter the hens where laying more eggs again
and you could eat as many as you liked.
Easterlamb
Came to our part during the beginning of 1900.
Probarbly from the picture of lamb as an offeringanimal in the Bible.
or from the jewish easter lamb
from the tale in Egypt when they put lambsblood
on the doors and wherenīt killed.
Eastercards
At the last turn of the century they
started sending eastercards to friends an relatives.
It became very popular!
Despite that easter is an christian festival the motivs where
mostly of eggs, rabbits and hens.
Daffodils
They are the most dominant flower during the easter here.
I think itīs because of their color and scent,
and the fact that itīs bloom in the right time.
Easterbunny
Itīs an german tradition. They let the easterbunny hide
coloured eggs that the children should search for.
Itīs not a big tradition here actually.
