Weird Easter Traditions

Weird Easter Traditions

Think chomping the behind off a chocolate bunny is weird?

Here’s LuckyTrip’s five weirdest Easter traditions...

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.
