Walpurgis Night (Walpurgisnacht) is a traditional religious holiday celebrated by pagans and Satanists, as well as Roman Catholics, on April 30 or May 1 in large parts of Central and Northern Europe.
The current festival is in most countries celebrating it named after Saint Walpurga, born in Devon about 710. Due to her holy day falling on the same day, her name became associated with the celebrations. Walpurga was honored in the same way that Vikings had celebrated spring and as they spread throughout Europe, the two dates became mixed together and created the Walpurgis Night celebration. Early Christianity had a policy of 'Christianising' pagan festivals so it is perhaps no accident that St. Walpurga's day was set to May 1.
From yesterday's "Valborg" celebration. The spring came late this year, but now finally all snow has melted! There are still no leaves on the trees though.
Some late Valborg (Walpurgis night) photos from earlier this year, I think. One of the more crazy events in Uppsala. Bad things can happen.
