In Sweden, Easter (pask) is deeply rooted in both secular traditions and ancient folklore. The unusual custom of children dressing as witches stems from legends of witches dancing with the devil. On Maundy Thursday, they often knock on doors asking for treats, similar to Halloween. Unique to Sweden, Easter eggs are beautifully painted paper shells filled with candy rather than chocolate. Traditional meals include pickled herring, creamy casseroles, and a variety of eggs, often enjoyed during the first long weekend of spring in summer houses.
