Episode 6 “Ostermontagsruten – A Springtime Awakening”

Version: Audio + PDF (Bundle)

A branch. A greeting. A quiet awakening in spring.

In this sixth episode of the special series Sorbian Easter Days, a ritual unfolds that is so gentle it could almost be overlooked — and yet it carries a strength older than many words: Ostermontagsruten, the Easter Monday greeting with fresh spring branches.

A custom that does not strike, but awakens.

That does not punish, but blesses.

That does not divide, but connects.
