Talk:Easter fire
On Saturday in Sweden
[edit]The bonfire is lit on Saturday in Sweden (or rather, the parts where the practice exists). So the article is incorrect. I'm not sure how to fix it though, because of the article's structure and because it's not clear to me if this goes for Denmark and other related regions too. JöG (talk) 23:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
here as well
[edit]In Germany it is also on saturdays , I think it is right to say it in the article.
DanGayle (talk) 01:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC) Removed this text as unsubstantiated and likely unverifiable: The pre-Christian meaning of Easter fires is hardly experienced anymore. Nowadays they are meant to bring the community together, which guarantees a pleasant night combined with the consumption of beer, mulled wine or liquor, and snacks.
Sources
[edit]No source for any of the information on Germanic pagan ritual, and I was not able to find any sources after a quick search. Source 6, archived here https://web.archive.org/web/20190417142003/https://pauline.leadpages.co/fsp-st-patricks-fire/ appears to be a self published website/company for an author who writes fiction about St. Patrick and so likely is not a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.237.202.78 (talk) 03:58, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
