In Sweden, this tale ties in with Easter. And so on skärtorsdag, Maundy Thursday, modern Swedish children dress up as påskkärringar (Easter hags) paint their faces, carry a broom and knock on neighbor’s doors for treats, much like American children do at Halloween.

That was a most interesting article and all true I would say :-)
Not many would go to a party on Long Friday and get drunk, not even atheists :-) It´s here in the south west that we have Bonfires at easter eve, just to scare away all witches up in the air :-) I would like to say that witches are our number one easter symbol.
Thanks!
Thank you!
