Easter is an important holiday in Denmark, often spent with family and friends. Many Danes gather for traditional Easter lunches featuring seasonal dishes and spend the holiday enjoying the arrival of spring.🌸

A unique Danish Easter tradition is gækkebreve ✉️, which are playful, anonymous letters written in rhyme and sent to friends or family in early spring. The sender signs the letter with dots instead of their name, and if the recipient cannot guess who sent it, they must give the sender a chocolate Easter egg. 🍫🥚

From the Danish Embassy in Athens, we wish all Danes in Greece and Cyprus a happy Easter. 🇬🇷 🇨🇾
