May
Saint Eric's Day is a special day celebrated on May 18th in Sweden. It remembers King Eric IX, who was a king long ago and is considered a saint. People celebrate his life and legacy by remembering his efforts to help the country and spread Christianity. Sometimes, there are special church services or events. It's a day to think about being kind, helping others, and being a good leader, just like Saint Eric was.
How to celebrate Saint Erics Day?
Wake up early and wear something blue, Eric's favorite color. Start the day by baking yummy blueberry muffins with a grown-up. Write a kind note for someone you care about, just like Eric did for his friends. Spend some time outside, like going for a walk or playing at the park. In the afternoon, gather your family for a picnic with sandwiches and delicious fruit. Share stories about brave people who stand up for what's right. In the evening, light a candle and have a moment of quiet to remember Eric. End the day with a song or dance in celebration!
