SOUTH PHILADELPHIA -- While Easter in America typically involves a bunny and eggs, in Swedish tradition, there are Easter witches and letters left on stoops. In this week's 6abc Loves the Arts, Karen Rogers takes us to The American Swedish Historical Museum in FDR Park where a new exhibition explains it all.
"The belief in witches and they're flying to this little island of Blkulla, which is where supposedly the devil was supposed to reside," says Christopher Malone, Curator at the American Swedish Historical Museum. "Where children would run around different villages, some dress up as witches, some dress up as trolls," says Malone.
The exhibition is based on a set of Easter letters from a local Swedish family that immigrated to Philadelphia in the 19th century.There's also a book on the history of witchcraft that was used during the Witch Trials in Sweden, Germany and America.
