As a Swede, no. No, they are not ok. Your concern is sweet, but you're better off just letting the Norwegians sort themselves out. They always do. Eventually.

You should also definetly check out the swedish påskkärring (easter witches) flying to Blåkulla on their brooms !!

In Ukraine (at least left bank part) we havd picnicks at the graveyard on Easter Monday - basically adult children all come to their villages on that day and go to cemetery to check on their relatives graves, put some plastic flowers, sweets and painted eggs there. Whoch often turns into wild celebration with kids jumping from grave to grave collecting candies 😅
@Vicky08Tz
We have really nice Easter traditions in Greece, especially in the Ionian islands! Parades with medieval & monk clothing, smashing pottery from balconies, games, foods & drinks! On Good Friday we start a litany around the country with the raise of the Epitaph, Good Saturday it's Resurrection Day firework celebrations, traditional family food and church night time to receive the Holy Light. Easter Sunday huge family Fiesta with lamp spits, music & dancing.
@sophietinnefeld-wilson2924
Considering the literary aesthetic of Norway, that actually tracks very well. A lot of good true crime authors come from there. To be honest, I'm a little surprised Iceland isn't where they do that.
@kayta84
As a Norwegian yes, crime is the theme. Crime literature, crime movies, miniseries or tv series. Mini series is very popular on tv. The shops have this year's recommended crime books and comics. And all of this started as a ad promotion from a book publisher and we loved it ❤ and of course we go to the hytte (cabin), we go on hikes or go skiing. We eat a loot of oranges and a chocolate called kvikk lunsj, its the superior versjon of a kitkat😂 so its crime for all ages and a lot of chocolate!
@UndergroundHound
Never heard of Ostereierbaum, but my german village(and all surrounding ones) do make big ass bonfires to stand around and drink alcohol at

In Poland we decorate eggs with absolute abundance of patterns, methods and styles (depending on region and preferences) and catholics bring baskets with food to church on Saturday to be blessed. We have "palm" Sunday a week earlier to commemorate Jesus' entrance to Jerusalem when we bring traditional decorated sticks to church called "little palms". (They are blessed, too). This mass usually has parts from gospel (Jesus process and death) role played - at least read by different people. We prepare quite a lot traditional food (eggs, cakes, sausages, soup) and celebrate with big and colourful breakfast on Sunday morning. (We strictly fast on Friday and less strictly on Saturday.) On Thursday there is a longer festive evening mass. It is also an anniversary/a festival for priests when their "service" was established. On Friday a kind of service and meditation called the Way of the Cross (via dolorosa). Churches prepare Jesus grave decorations in side aisle where Holy Sacrament is put till Sunday. There is no mass on Saturday. There are people (also children, scouts etc.) who change and keep guard and pray at "Jesus grave". After blessing the food on Saturday, we go to "Jesus grave" to pray and meditate over Jesus sacrifice for a moment and there are always colletions for poor ones. On Monday we traditionally "sprinkle" people with water (often with a lot of water) and especially children love it. In the past in the country it would be boys watering girls. The wetter you ended up, the more attractive you were. If nobody sprinkled you, you were believed to become a spinster. Now everybody does that, mostly for fun. (I used to set the alarm clock very early as a child to "attack' sleeping parents with cold water 😂).
@TiffinVStorm
Here in Finnmark in the North of Norway, there is also the Sámi Easter Festival with lasso competitions, reindeer races, colourful outfits, and music shows.
@westcoastmeltingpot3234
Your ability to nail European accents and mannerisms blows me away. I work as a flight attendant, and I go everywhere. I have friends from all over the world, and every time I watch one of your new videos, it's so relevant and spot on.
@maszlagma
... Eastern Europe countries quietly sweatting in the corner as in most of them (especially in the countryside) the men used to get buckets of cold water and splash it on women and soak them and would expect painted eggs or money in exchange. It was said, this was because women were beautiful "flowers" so they "deserved watering". They would go house to house doing this (mostly friends, family and neighbours) and in a lot of cases would do it as a "prank" doing it without taking consent. This has now tamed into a perfume spritz on ladies and girls after taking consent via a poem which ends in "...may I water?", and are mostly done by children going house to house of their friends and family. They get chocolate eggs, money and are offered food at the house of the host.
@ThisOrThatPerson
Haha im from norway i can 100% confirm its very fun to watch movies and solve them in different episodes what a memory might sound weird and creapy but its very fun norway is the only country that has påskekrim i wish more countries have this
@mmo5366
In Australia it’s like England but we also pretty much each eat a truck-load of Hot Cross Buns in various flavour profiles such as Traditional, Chocolate-chip, Apple and Cinnamon, Raspberry and White Chocolate, Mocha, Iced Vo-vo, and even Fruit-free for those who don’t do dried fruit. It’s great 😂
@Karinara
In Finland during Palm Sunday we have kids dressed up in witch costumes going door to door to give out these decorated branches and saying a blessing for the upcoming year. The kids are then given candy or money as a gift. Kinda like Halloween
@mikuindamikucar
The funniest thing is in Poland it's mostly religious lmao Wielkanoc refers to "wielka"- which means "great" and "noc" which is "night" so basically the "great night" is when Jesus got resurrected. also we got "Wielki Tydzień" so basically "great week", and today it's the so called „Great Thursday” and today Jesus was at the last supper (Not sure how you call it, i used google translate) andd yeah. we sometimes play games too tbh edit: i hate my broken english
@Casartss
fun fact: In Norway the milk cartons comes with crime comics on them during easter, for kids to solve :) Easter is also the best time to get a tan in Norway as you can ski while it's sunny and warm which many Norwegians do next to their crime solving addiction :) Themoreyouknow
@Swiftie13tvlover
I just found out that this is weird from my American friend. Påskekrim is so normal for Norwegians I can’t imagine easter without it.
@marjanpel1563
So true, I have lived in Norway for almost 7 years. Påskekrim is a new Easter tradition in our dutch/german family.
@SP0R3.
as a swede, i’m jealous tbh 😞😞 we have to walk around dressed as witches and go door to door collecting candy in old kettles like it’s halloween, my introverted ahh would much rather stay inside and watch movies about murders T^T
