Latvia

March 24, 2015

Mara wrote an explanation of Latvian customs for Easter on the back of her card.  It was interesting, except it sounds a bit like it was copied from Wikipedia. I couldn't find it when I searched for it, so perhaps she did write it.  I'll put a bit of what she wrote down.

"Traditional Easter activities include painting eggs with natural colors, egg rolling and egg battles, swinging in the highest place, predicting the weather and performing traditional ceremonies for promoting fertility and strengthening health.  Best wishes, Mara"

It's very informative.

Riga - The Livs Square


These are interesting stamps.  The one with the trees is a little scary!
