How is Easter celebrated in Denmark?

Traditions

There is a unique Danish Easter tradition: the custom of sending teaser letters. A few weeks before Easter (usually on Valentine's Day), Danes cut out letters in which they write a secret poem. They send the letter anonymously (accompanied by a snowdrop flower) and only sign it with dots for their name. If the recipient can guess or find out who sent the Easter poem, he or she receives the egg-shaped reward at Easter.

Food

Danish traditional Easter food consists of types of eggs and Danish locals often add chicken, fish or lamb to this at Easter.
