Easter is also celebrated in Judaism, where it is called Pesach. So Easter is an important holiday, but it still feels rather confused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do the Easter baskets and eggs have to do with Jesus' crucifixion? How is it that the Jews, who do not attribute any religious function to Jesus, celebrate Easter? And when does the Easter Bunny come into the picture? Here are ten interesting facts about Easter. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-895134327\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1274993034 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-695971118\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3009462565\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1274993034 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1274993034\" );$freedslider1274993034.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1274993034.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1274993034.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1274993034.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1274993034.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Fakta om p\u00e5sken: p\u00e5skkyckling\" class=\"wp-image-90906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kyckling-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-datum-for-pasken-valdigt-forvirrande\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Datum_for_pasken_%E2%80%93_valdigt_forvirrande\"><\/span>1.

Throughout the Christian world, Easter is a family celebration, but other celebrations differ. Protestant churches hold services and the Catholic Church also organises long Easter processions. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-4284472801\"><div

The name 'Passover' comes from the Hebrew name 'pesach', which means 'to pass' or 'to go by'. It is a seder meal, where the different dishes have symbolic meaning. They also eat unleavened bread, or matzah, because they did not have time to ferment the bread when they fled Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Matza\" class=\"wp-image-90898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pesach.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-stilla-veckan-manga-dagar-att-halla-reda-pa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Stilla_veckan_%E2%80%93_manga_dagar_att_halla_reda_pa\"><\/span>4.

Easter Lent<em> - important in the Middle Ages<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easter Lent is the period of fasting for Christians, lasting 40 days before Easter, excluding Sundays. Lent was important in the Middle Ages, and was practised in some parts of the evangelical world until the 18th century. Lent can be observed by Christians even today, for example by abstaining from sweets, alcohol or meat. <em>Fixed assets<\/em> are the days before Lent, when people like to indulge in Lenten buns (semlor). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

Eggs symbolise rebirth and fertility, which can also be linked to the resurrection of Jesus. In other words, eggs fit well with Easter for several reasons. In addition, in the past, Easter was celebrated after a long period of fasting, during which people <em>not allowed<\/em> eat eggs.

Once upon a time, the father of the house used the rice to whip the other family members, reminding them of Jesus' suffering on the cross.

It is believed that the idea of Easter cakes comes from the 17th century witch trials, but they are distinguished by accessories such as a coffee pot, a black cat and a broom. To scare them, fires were lit or guns were fired, which still exists today in the form of Easter bonfires and Easter crackers. Children have been dressing up as Easter bunnies since the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Fakta om p\u00e5sken: p\u00e5skk\u00e4rring\" class=\"wp-image-90901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/P\u00e5skk\u00e4rring.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-paskgodis-7000-ton-i-paskaggen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Paskgodis_%E2%80%93_7000_ton_i_paskaggen\"><\/span>10.
