I Danish Easter celebrations begin already with the arrival of spring, when flowers such as primroses, daffodils, tulips, snowdrops, or hyacinths are bought in abundance, whose bulbs will be planted in the garden at the end of the Easter rites.
One of the peculiarities of the Danish people, in fact, is the reverence they have for open spaces, the care and dedication they reserve for the maintenance and beautification of gardens.
A similar tradition is that of the Easter tree: some branches are cut from trees and shrubs in gardens and decorated with typical Easter motifs and ornaments. Such decorations are so carefully crafted and unique that they are even more characteristic and pleasing than Christmas decorations.
Just like in Germany, in Denmark the Easter Bunny is also venerated and celebrated, from which, according to popular belief, come the classic and indispensable Easter eggs: it is the cute bunny itself, in fact, that brings and scatters the delicious chocolate eggs in every corner of the house and garden of Danish families. In reality, it is the parents who hide, on the night before Easter, the colorful eggs that children must search for the following morning.
Even adults do not shy away from celebrations, pleasing their palate and feasting with a special beer for the occasion, Paskebryg. It is a type of beer that is produced and marketed exclusively during this time of year and is slightly stronger than traditional blonde beer.
