I had great opportunity to celebrate Easter in Sweden. Luckily I had Swedish friends and they told for me a lot about old traditions, and we celebrated it in a traditional way. So now I want to share experience not about that how great and fun it was, but want to give you information, what I learned about Easter in Sweden.
