Easter fire is a quite common tradition in Germany. Beside the religious meaning it is a nice opportunity to meet some - old - friend and the kids have fun anyway.
We had quite a good time - luckily the weather did not kill the whole thing. We got three times really light drizzle but never got really wet ...
Check out the background details on the easter fire tradition at wikipedia. We had "our" easter fire at Hof Holz. Hof Holz is a farm where disabled are integrated in work and life. The farm provides rich opportunities for visitors, e.g. playground and animals for the kids and great home-baked cakes and bread.
