Finland's holidays and rituals are a beautiful synthesis of Christian and pagan practices. They observe the custom of Christmas trees and Advent calendars. Christmas in Finland begins on December 23 and ends on December 26. On Christmas Eve, gifts are exchanged, and on Christmas Day, everyone eats before going to the sauna.


The Easter celebration in Finland combines pagan and Christian traditions. On Holy Saturday or Palm Sunday, the kids dress up and go door to door handing out daffodils in exchange for candy. Burning bonfires over Easter weekend is one of several traditional customs used to ward off witches. Daffodils are traded for treats, similar to the Halloween celebration.

Finland is home to many saunas, which are dry steam baths. Proto-Finnish ancestors of saunas appeared 7,000 years ago. Saunas are used to bathe while the heat aids in pore opening and cleansing of the skin.
