HYVÄÄ PÄÄSIÄISTÄ !!! HAPPY EASTER !!! FROHE OSTERN !!!
© National Board of Antiquities It was customary as long ago as the 1820s for young people to write letters to their friends at Easter time. In Finland the custom of sending Easter greetings cards dates from the closing years of the 19th century. Here is a sample of some of the oldest Easter cards from the collection of the Finnish National Museum, which we hope you will enjoy. Below the same cards for seeing one by one. http://virtual.finland.fi/netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=26051

The traditional Finnish dish is "mämmi" (brown porridge made of rye malt and water). In the old times it was made into birch-bark baskets. Nowadays it is made in board baskets. Boiled eggs belong to the Finnish Easter table, too.
Pääsiaisvirpojat Palmusunnuntaina - Easter traditions "Virpominen" is an old Karelian custom on Palm Sunday. It means tapping with willow twigs blessed in church on Saturday. Children go to their relatives and godparents and wish them good luck and health for the next year. We put the most beautiful twigs behind our icons. http://www.geocities.com/optionalcourse7a191/customs_and_traditions_finland.htm
