Easter witch
Easter witches (, 'easter hag', 'easter witch', Finland , 'easter witch') is an old Swedish legend about witches flying to Blockula (, "Blå Jungfrun") on brooms on the Thursday before Easter (Maundy Thursday, :sv:Skärtorsdagen) or on the night between the Wednesday (Holy Wednesday, :sv:Dymmelonsdag) and Thursday before, and returning on Easter. In modern times children dress up as witches, old ladies or in old men's clothing and go door to door distributing greetings and often receiving treats in return.
