Virvonta
A Finnish Palm Sunday tradition of blessings
'Virvonta' is a Finnish tradition where children dress up as witches or other characters and go door to door with decorated willow branches. They recite a rhyme to bless homes in exchange for treats. The tradition combines Christian and pre-Christian elements and is similar to both Halloween and Easter celebrations.
