Hyvää pääsiäistä! / Happy Easter!

Easter in Finland is an exciting mix of flavours, history and traditions. The religious roots of the Christian feast are still visible today. Besides celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, Easter in Finland is all about welcoming the long-awaited spring after the dark and cold winter months. It’s often considered as planting the seeds for happiness and health for the approaching summer season.

The witches recite a traditional rhyme at the door: Virvon, varvon, tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks; vitsa sulle, palkka mulle! (In translation: I wave a twig for a fresh and healthy year ahead; a twig for you, a treat for me!)

For many Finns, Easter also means a break from the hectic life in the middle of the spring. In Finland, Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays, and many families take the opportunity to spend the long weekend away. Surprisingly, quite often they travel to Lapland to see snow one last time before the summer.

On public holidays, the banks and offices in Finland are closed, and they might also affect on the opening hours of supermarkets throughout the country.

The Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday, palmusunnuntai, which also means the beginning of the traditions – like the little Easter witches arriving at your doorstep.

Decorating willow twigs
Decorating willow twigs with colorful feathers and other pretty embellishments date back to early Christian days. Willow is the only plant flourishing at the time of Easter, and it’s considered as the northern equivalent for palms that were laid down when Jesus entered Jerusalem. To this day, many Finns cut willow twigs and place them in a vase as a sign of spring. Decorating them is left for children.

Finnish children also plant grass seeds in shallow dishes of soil and place birch twigs in vases of water, and watch eagerly for green shoots and “mouse-ear” buds to appear symbolizing the springtime reawakening of life. Easter eggs and Easter bunnies – both pre-Christian symbols of fertility – also abound in Finland, though these are more recent cultural imports.
