Polish Picnic reminds me of trips to the mountains, bike rides, and the opening of the grilling season. In Sweden, the last day of April and first days of May is a kind of welcoming spring.
April 30 is Walpurgis or VALBORGSMÄSSAFTON. Wherever possible, people leave the service as early as lunchtime. We all rush home to prepare for the evening celebration. The main highlight of the evening program are enormous fire that burns in almost all towns and villages Szwecji.Również in Stockholm.
Walpurgis celebrations for me it's still exotic, so I willingly take part in a bit more elaborate and dramatic version than in other districts. The celebration begins at the Old Town Square. About 20.00 already attracted substantial crowds here. For 20 SEK buy one of the last torch and set to gradually forming a procession with torches. Let's move on. The pace is snail-like, but it's good because you have to be very careful to themselves and others do not burn. We walk through the streets of Old Town. Before us, behind us and around us, the torch lights flicker. The light illuminates zmierzchający day ... and heralds the beginning of spring! We come to the coast of Lake Mälar.Czekamy only the signal of the organizers to move the torch to the fire. This moment comes z. .. rain. The crowd did not lose neither breezy nor enthusiasm
(sometimes heated liquor from behind under his arm), some folk songs and chants we all join the common singing. Hiding under parasols to welcome the spring:) The rest of the evening program runs pretty much the same everywhere, namely the deflection cup at home or in a pub.
