How we celebrate the last day of april in Sweden

Its called Walpurgis Night.

 

And this is how a that night should look like:

 

Not like from what i saw in the video.

Fireworks has nothing to do with Walpurgis Night.

 

If there was so many people where I live I would never come to celebrate things like this

Meh I don't see anything special with that day :/ I was watching The Woman in Black instead.

A bonfire? We do this in America, too, typically on the last day of school. We toss in our notebooks and binders, you see.

VERY COOL!!

 

The last day of april at sundown is a traditional Pagan holiday, it signifies Beltane, the celebration of spring and the return of fertility to the earth. It is the time of year where the goddess lays back down with the god to repopulate the earth.

 

It isn't celebrated here in the States like it is across Europe and your home country Jokoc, but those are the origins of the holiday and the celebration is small here and only among pagans, me and my bf said a small blessing, cooked a nice dinner with things we don't usually get to eat (like lamb) and I went and picked flowers from the fields to bring into our home

 

It is by far my favorite holiday and I am jelly it is still recognized in your country, even if not for the original reason
