Ever wondered how Swedes celebrate Easter? In Sweden, the Easter traditions are a bit different from the ones in other western countries. The festival has blended with Swedish folklore about witches. Children dress up as Easter witches in raggedy old clothes with headscarves and go door-to-door collecting candy like trick-or-treating in Halloween. In brief, it’s all about chocolates, little witches, egg hunts and colorful feathers.
