Easter traditions in Alsace with Gérard Leser

This program navigates between Palm Sunday and its donkey, the successive purifications, the silence of the bells, the ratsches which replace them, the eggs, not necessarily laid by hens, the Easter bunny (or is it a hare?) .

The list of traditions is very long, Gérard Leser gives you some pointers to find your way around.

Gérard Léser is a writer, lecturer, professional storyteller and author of videos on Alsatian traditions, beliefs and history. He is a member of the Académie d’Alsace and president of the Société d’histoire du Val and the City of Munster.
