Unfortunately, not everyone is always aware of the religious background of some of them, all though "Christ Heaven Flight-day" is a feast name that leaves little room for misunderstandings. Also a small comment on the Lutheranity of Sweden; we're more Anglican than Lutheran.<br /><br />Fitzy - Corpus Christi is the only one, as far as I've been able to figure out, that we don't celebrate. Look back at the posts and you'll see some of the other feasts - I am planning to post on all of them!<br /><br />Anonymous - we do celebrate pentecost, but not with silly dancing, herring or other Swedish weirdness so I haven't really felt a need to post on it! =)<br /><br />Random Thinker - I do at times! =) I was in Dublin for Easter (went to IKEA for herring and egg vests without which I can never consider easter complete) and I was planning to go for Corpus Christi, but that didn't happen. I haven't got another trip planned yet, but I'm sure it won't be too long!Ankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548978131811337116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-89313767737283679462010-06-12T16:21:59.902+01:002010-06-12T16:21:59.902+01:00Lovely.

It is perhaps too easy to suggest that the protestant state was forced, in the absence of a spiritual heritage to preserve a cultural and physical one. I don't believe that the Church of Sweden could be accused to nostalgia and archaism. However, it is interesting to note the relative traditionalism of the Anglican culture of England and the Lutheran culture of Sweden when compared with the Catholic culture of Ireland, if that phrase can even be used.<br /><br />JSBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-22431944585105460402010-05-16T20:34:11.980+01:002010-05-16T20:34:11.980+01:00Another really good post on Sweden.
