It's spring time in Germany (remarks: not really: it's far too cold - only 5 degrees), but the frontgardens are ready

the trees are blooming in pink colour

There are Easter decorations in shopping centres like here:

a closer look

One tradition is the Easter march on Easter Saturday - for freedom in the world

Children joined in with banners

Of course there are speeches

a closer look to the balloons with the freedom dove

Another tradition: the Easter fire on Saturday night: to get away the bad ghosts and daemons

- here the Fire brigade is working to get a big pile of wood, trees, etc ready for this big event

In case of emergency: at least one Fire truck will be available

The fire will be lit at dawn ... so we have still some time to get ready for Easter!
So, in the meantime, we wish you all

Frohe Ostern which means
Happy Easter!
