Today its Valborg or Valborgsmässoafton. In the evening we will light big bonfires, sing and cheer in the spring. 🌿
According to old folk lore, evil forces were in motion during the (Valborg) Walpurgis when the winter half-year turned into summer. Fires were then lit to scare away all the trolls. The fires also protected against predators who were after the cattle that had been let out on the first pasture of the year.
I decided to get into the festivites by having a nice day in the forest. ☀️🌲
