Typical Swedish traditions during Halloween and All Saints Day (alla helgons dag)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2021
- Every year on the first Saturday in November, Swedes celebrate Alla helgons dag - All Saints Day. This day is part of a two-day celebration called allahelgonashelgen.
During this weekend, Swedes remember the dead by lighting candles at the cemeteries.
In this video, we discuss typical Swedish traditions during this time of year. The idea of Halloween didn't really exist in Sweden until the 1990s, so it is still fairly new. However, many younger Swedes will celebrate Halloween by having Halloweenfester (Halloween parties) or by dressing up and going door to door asking for candy. Instead of saying "Trick or Treat," you say "bus eller godis!"
We also go through some spooky Swedish vocabulary.

In Mexico we have something similar it's traditional called death days start 31 October and finish 2 November .we put an altar with flowers and candela and visit cementation to honor our death relatives. Thanks for share your tradition
Yes, it is a bit similar but the Mexican tradition is even better! It's famous even in Sweden.
I looked up werewolf and it is varulv in Swedish. Love those werewolves!
Pumpa, my new favorite Swedish word.
It does sound pretty nice, doesnt it? 😊
Jättemysig
Also, if a person in Sweden DOESNT have a "Jack-O-Lantern"/ Pumpkinhead outside their door or garden gate, THEY DO NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN, take this seriously please, some christians and other cultures, consider Halloween to be "of the devil" and dont like it. Even though Im protestant, I DONT consider it to have ANYTHING to do with the devil AT ALL, costumes or not and I LOVE HALLOWEEN. But thats me. Im glad that we have a holiday where we can talk about things that scare us, death, and other dark things, in a benevolent way, and have fun with it. A "Memento Mori" with a chuckle, if you will. And a bit of a Mischief Night, a healthy outlet. The fact that its connected to Samhain and other such "long ago" holidays is ok by me, its NOT un-christian AT ALL. But again, thats me. Crepepaper cut into skulls and rubber zombie masks isnt gonna make me believe less yknow ?
Thank you for the information
My pleasure

What a great idea for the cemetery, but I'd not go here in the UK, they would be full of creepy men!
