This is a picture of the branches with colored feathers on--one of our neighbor's balcony
Here is a little about Easter here in Sweden. They actually have holidays for several days in a row--Friday is Good Friday, Saturday is Easter Eve, Sunday is Easter, and Monday is the second day of Easter. They celebrate everything but the real meaning of Easter. A few people attend church, but not many. The little girls dress up like witches and go around with baskets trying to get candy, similar to our Halloween. The people decorate with colored feathers tied onto branches, flowers, and colored eggs. The week before Easter we had a hard time visiting anyone--they were all too busy with preparations for Easter. A lot of families do get together at this time for dinner, etc.
