Kinky
Prague, Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic, men ‘lightly’ whip women with willow branches to make ‘em fertile... okayyy.
Snoooooooore
Helsinki, Finland
Think your family’s a snooze? In Finland they literally make kids watch the grass grow. Once it’s finally popped through, the kids are allowed to decorate it. (There’s also dressing up as witches, roast lamb and weirdo desserts though, so no need to call childline.)
Whodunnit?
Oslo, Norway
Do Norwegians read crime novels to bring them closer to the mysterious and miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ? Nope, it’s all cos of a PR stunt where the papers pretended the plot of a crime novel had really happened.
Get on yer dancing shoes
Berlin, Germany
In 13 out of 16 German states, dancing is officially banned at Easter - thanks Lutherans! Don’t worry too much, looks like no one told the crew at Berghain…
All the eggs
Stuttgart, Germany
Across Germany, trees are decorated with hundreds of painted eggs to welcome in spring. It’s a vegan’s worst nightmare.
