What is Fastelavn?
A sure sign that Spring is around the corner, Fastelavn is celebrated on the Sunday before the start of Lent, 40 days before Easter. In Denmark, children dress up in costumes (like Hallowe'en). They go door to door demanding fastelavnsboller and candy.
Children take turns swinging a bat to break a suspended wooden barrel filled with candies (like a pinata). Traditionally there was a cat in the barrel, but that practice is long gone. The King of Cats is the person who makes the candies spill out. The Queen of Cats takes down the last piece of the barrel. Then stand back, as all the kids rush in for a share of the candies.
