In Carinthia, Easter usually kicks off with the spectacular Easter bonfire on Holy Saturday— a beautiful ritual that symbolically chases away the winter and welcomes the spring. And what’s Easter without a delicious Easter brunch? Picture freshly baked Osterpinze (Easter bread), ham, and a boiled egg on the table. In some villages, you can wander through Easter markets, picking up local treats along the way.
As the kids run wild hunting for Easter eggs, the adults get to bask in the first rays of sunshine, enjoying the crispness of spring. It’s peaceful, it’s cozy, and there’s always that touch of charm. Christian people celebrate it – sometimes in traditional outfits – with a church service. A moment of togetherness, reflection, and honoring Christ.
How are you celebrating your Easter weekend? We wish you a weekend filled with peace, coziness, and maybe a dash of adventure!
