The Big Easter Celebration at the Ethnographic Open-Air Museum

On this day, the Open-Air Museum will host a large craftsmen market, egg dyeing and rolling, swinging on large and very large swings, folk dances and songs.

Easter in nature marks the moment when light overcomes the darkness. The increase in daylight will be followed by the awakening of nature. Swinging – rising towards the Sun – is a symbolic act that is supposed to stimulate the forces of rebirth and fertility. It is also an action that harmonises the world, involving both an upward movement and a graceful descent.
