In many other European countries is a highly religious festivity is in Sweden now become secular. Most Swedes celebrate Easter at home with family and relatives. Easter has its rituals in Sweden: the kids dress up as Easter witches, garish scarf and red cheeks, they go from house to house in the neighborhood, leaving Easter artwork in hopes of getting candy. On Saturday organized the parade to the main square. Parade began with the Home Guard Band. There were lots of people, sunny but very cold and windy day.
