What is unique about the Swedish celebration, on the other hand, is that it unites Christian traditions with indigenous elements that stretch back to Old Norse culture. Therefore, the holidays in their Swedish vintages have many things that have no equivalent in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>But what are they really about? And how come we celebrate them?<\/p>\n<h2>Easter Day<\/h2>\n<p>Easter is an annual Christian holiday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. That is why it is also called the Day of Resurrection. It always occurs on the first Sunday after the first so-called ecclesiastical full moon after the vernal equinox. Therefore, it takes place on different days every year.<\/p>\n<p>How then is Easter celebrated?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat special foods such as lamb, which stems from both the idea of sacrificial lamb and the pre-Christian blot. Relatives and friends are often invited.<\/li>\n<li>Special decorations and sweets with a special focus on eggs, which according to some is rooted in the idea of rebirth. Many people choose to focus on egg hunting and surprises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Swedish and modern fashion, the celebration is in many ways partly secularized. Therefore, the celebration varies greatly.<\/p>\n<h2>Pentecost<\/h2>\n<p>Pentecost is a Christian holiday when it is celebrated that the Holy Spirit appeared for what became Jesus&#039; apostles. That is why the day is sometimes called the birthday of the modern church. When the day takes place varies between 10 May and 26 June, depending on both year and church attendance.<\/p>\n<p>The celebration of Pentecost, unlike the celebration of Easter, has not gained much traction among those who do not participate in the Church&#039;s activities. Celebrating Pentecost is therefore still closely associated with Pentecost and church activities. Unlike Easter Day, many believe that Pentecost should be more spartan in its execution with a focus on paying attention to and taking advantage of what we have around us.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P\u00e5skdagen och pingstdagen P\u00e5sk och pingst har i det n\u00e4rmaste ur\u00e5ldriga anor och \u00e4r stadigt \u00e5terkommande i v\u00e4ldigt m\u00e5nga svenska hush\u00e5ll.
