Happy Easter From The Legendary Adventures of Anna

Easter or Páskar in Icelandic is typically celebrated over four days from Thursday (Skírdagur) to Monday(Annar í Páskum). It is a time for Icelanders to spend time with their families. They will gather for big dinners, take trips out into the country and the most popular tradition is to exchange all sizes of chocolate Easter eggs. Nói Síríus is the most popular producer of chocolate eggs in Iceland, they have been making chocolate eggs since the 1930s. Each year they produce over 300,000 eggs, even more than the entire population of Iceland! Look at the photos below to find out what surprises are in the eggs!

(If you speak Icelandic, I would really appreciate a translation, thank you!)

    Hi Anna, I wanted to help you with your easter egg proverbs so here´s my translation. "Ekki er synd í sönnum eiði" Eiður is an oath or a promise so i think " There is no shame in a true promise" is good, and the other is actually not so much a proverb but an old house saying. It was is some cases used about people if they often had visitors that were higher in stature, but there is also a reverse saying that goes something like "Oft njóta vond hjú góðra gesta" which would be " Often a bad couple has good company". Either refering to them throwing a party or them having people over that were too good for them in that persons perspective. Hope that helps 🙂
