Palm Sunday

 The Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday, palmusunnuntai, which also means the beginning of the traditions – like the little Easter witches arriving at your doorstep.

Illustration Maarit Ailio, Finnish

On Palm Sunday and Holy Saturday, children dress up as little witches. Wearing colourful clothes, overhead scarves and painted freckles on their cheeks, the little witches go from door to door with their willow twigs saying: “Virvon, varvon, tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks; vitsa sulle, palkka mulle.”
