In Sweden, Ascension Day, known as 'Kristi himmelsfärdsdag' in Swedish, is a public holiday that is traditionally celebrated 40 days after Easter Sunday.
You might also hear it jokingly referred to as Kristi flygare, or Christ the flyer.
It always falls 40 days after Easter, which also means that it’s always on a Thursday – it used to be known as helgetorsdag or Sacred Thursday. The city of Stockholm annually hosts a large public gathering in the Royal National City Park, where people enjoy picnics, traditional Swedish music, and various outdoor activities to celebrate the beginning of summer.
This often includes a festive procession, known as 'kättsta' or 'dalkarlsvandring'. This creates a 'de facto' long weekend for many Swedes.
On Ascension Day, Sweden comes alive with religious services, family gatherings, and various outdoor activities. Make sure to check automatic translation, translation memory or indirect translations. Like Easter, the date is decided based on the cycle of the moon, so the date varies each year.
