Just an observation Peder, but given the religious significance for many, the festival is not necessarily a happy one across all days, at least until the resurrection/ascension of Christ.
I only mention this as I once wished a devoutly religious colleague a happy Easter and his reply indicated solemn days and contemplation in the earlier part of the Triduum.
All said and done I have always found Easter to be a special time of rememberance which should inspire us all.
Indeed - today is Good Friday which is the polar opposite in tone and feeling to Easter, which is/starts on Sunday. It’s a bit like wishing someone Happy New Year on December 30th.
That said, I’m happy to mentally interpolate an implied future tense when I get wished a slightly premature Happy Easter.
The old women flying in the sky…on your picture. You don’t name it like that in Sweden?
Because I thought it was a bit universal name ( same in France, Italy, Poland, Russia…)
In Sweden,.her name is “Påskkärring”,there is no English word for it.
The closest you can translate that swedish word with is “Easter-Lady”,.but it doesn’t get quite right.
