Switzerland Easter Hot - Easter Monday In Grimisuat, 1954 (b/w photo)

Switzerland Easter traditions - On 19 April 1954, on Easter Monday in Grimisuat, a small village community in the district of Sion in the canton of Valais, the tradition of the Easter procession, cultivated since the 17th century, takes place. On their way through the landscape and the village the villagers stop at different places and we taste bread and wine there. The president of the municipality, M. Savioz, distributes bread loaves with buckling trousers to women in traditional costumes of the Valais, whereby his assistant reads a Easter miracle from a list every time he hands over bread
