Easter (Påske) is an important holiday in Norway, it is not marked by many religious practices as it is in Colombia but they do have a lot of ancient traditions such as the use of Easter eggs, the Easter bunny and yellow Easter chicks. Norwegian families use to have a large celebratory meal, it consist of vegetables with lamb meat and boiled potato accompanied by easter beer and of course easter eggs.
Norwegians love Nature and outdoor activities, so no holiday will be complete without a trip to the mountains and Easter couldn't be the exception. During this holiday many families celebrate by going skiing and eating oranges with the very famous chocolate bar "kvikk lunsj".
We couldn't celebrate up in the mountains but we had our own easter bunny in the Red Cross house and we got our easter eggs for the first time in our lifes.
Watch the video to see how was the visit of the easter bunny to the Red Cross house in Akershus.
