penitence day

end of february.

it was the night before the religious fast, and it was an interesting carnival day for the children to dress up.

on that day, the children were dressed in various colourful and eccentric costumes, such as hats or zorro-style blindfolds, knocking on the neighbours ' doors and asking for gifts.

they also gathered in the hall to hit a big barrel with a baseball bat in turn, and when the barrel was broken, the candy cake fell out of it, and the children ate it with joy, while the lucky child who broke the bucket became the “king” or “queen” during fasting.

the first sunday after the first full moon after easter

spring is easter, usually at the end of march or the beginning of april.

it is a religious holiday of christian remembrance of the resurrection of jesus, and easter is traditionally marked by a number of special celebrations.

eggs and rabbits are the symbol of easter, because they give birth to a new life, with the intention of being resurrected, while rabbits are also regarded as a symbol of a new life because of their productivity.

at easter, every kind of easter rabbit and egg is sold in the store, some of which is made of chocolate.

easter, which now has little religious significance in denmark, is a good day for danes to take the opportunity to take a week off.

taking advantage of this opportunity, danes either go skiing in norway or travel to the alps, or simply stay at home and repair their gardens.
