Matia19 Hello OnaA Why he burns a fire ? I like the Finnish tradition and I went to see on the internet but I can not find as much to ask you
Hello! The bonfire is always burnt on Easter Saturday and earlier people believed that it was the day Jesus was dead so the protection of God was weak so they burnt the bonfire to banish the witches and other bad spirits away. Nowadays it's only a tradition and people don't believe like that anymore.
