In Sweden, Easter is called “påsk”. That’s pronounced “posk” and not “pask”. The holiday begins with what Anglo-Americans call Maundy Thursday, which in Sweden is called “skärtorsdag”. Skärtorsdag actually translates as Cutting Thursday.
There are several things that differ Swedish Easter from Easter in other countries. There are lots more traditions and odd ingredients in the Swedish celebration.

Then the twigs are decorated with colorful feathers.
