Aftenen sluttede med, at alle fik fastelavnsboller<br />

What is Fastelavn<br />
So what’s all this about?<br />
Fastelavn this year falls on February the 22 nd<br />
– a day of excess and celebrations before the<br />
40 days fast of Lent, then comes Easter.<br />
Christianity in Denmark sure ain’t what it used<br />
to be in the old days; what with churches being<br />
closed up for good across the land, and most<br />
emphasis seeming to be placed on getting gifts<br />
at confirmation ceremonies or at Christmas.<br />
But It seems as if this peculiar Danish festival<br />
has more roots in pagan times anyway, a time<br />
when on this day geese had their heads ripped<br />
off and their dead bodies were used to whack<br />
the living<br />
daylights out of a cat stuck in a wooden barrel.<br />
These days Danes have cleaned up their act on<br />
the cat and goose whacking front though, but<br />
contemporary Fastelavn still whiffs of village<br />
life and ducking stools.<br />
The auspicious day begins with kids dressingup<br />
in fancy dress, then waking their parents<br />
by bashing their bed with fastelavnris (a small<br />
bunch of spring twigs, decorated with feathers<br />
and sweeties) and then by being irritating all<br />
day.<br />
The day culminates with trick-or-treating, followed<br />
by beating the living daylights out of a<br />
