Hi!
We celebrate easter becouse of Christanity, but we also light fires and the children dress up as witches. They are walking around the neighbourhood knocking at doors, and hopefully get some candy.
They often have red cheeks, freckles a dress, pinny and a scarf aroud the head. And sometimes they give away drawings.
We light the fire to frighten the witches from "blåkulla" away.

In the Czech Republic only boys and young men walk around the neighbourhood and they whip girls and women with whippings. Accordings to girls it is a barbarian custom because it is sometimes painful. But after all girls and women give some sweets and colour eggs to boys and men.
