Bonfires are lit in Seurasaari, a drama of suffering is seen in Senate Square and Easter flowers glow in the Winter Garden.
From the capital region there are many events related to Easter traditions. HS compiled three spending tips for Easter.
Seurasaari’s Easter cakes
In Seurasaari Easter bonfires are lit on Saturday. Helsinki’s Keskipohja residents have built two bonfires at the Seurasaari Juhlakenta. At first, a smaller bonfire is lit at the event, and when it burns, the actual Easter bonfire is lit.
According to the Ostrobothnian tradition, Easter bonfires are lit to drive away evil spirits. According to tradition, witches and trulls were believed to stay away with the help of fire and smoke. Burning the bonfire was also intended to secure a good harvest and abundant livestock.
Children can dress up as trulls for the event if they wish. You can heat your own snacks at the barbecue area of the festival grounds or buy drinks, snacks and sausages to grill from the kiosk.
Seurasaari’s Easter cakes event will be held on Saturday from 18:30 to 22:00 at Seurasaari Outdoor Museum’s Juhlakent.
