Walpurga (or Valborg in Swedish) was a Christian saint, but the roots of the Swedish Walpurgis celebration can be traced back to pagan traditions. Walpurgis Night marks the arrival of spring, and serves as an occasion for frivolity and festivities, especially among students. Large bonfires are lit with the purpose of scaring away witches, but also to ”replace the old” (舊的不去新的不來).
