Freya'sday Eve

Freya'sday Eve is a once-a-year holiday for multiple Viking tribes in the Barbaric Archepilago in the How to Train Your Dragon Book series.

History
Freya'sday Eve commemorates the season change between Winter and Spring. Based on the name, it is associated with the Goddess of fertility - Freya. It is an annual event.

Historically, there is not evidence that Freya had a celebration or ritual during that time of year. Instead, the Germanic Goddess Ēostre (also called Ostara) has been associated with Spring. The Christianized holiday became known as "Easter". Some scholars do connect Freya with Eostre, but lack of data prevents a strong connection.

Holiday Activities
To celebrate Freya'sday Eve the Bog-Burglar Tribe and Hairy Hooligan Tribe hold a joint festival called Freya'sday Fete.

The Hysteric Tribe holds a huge tribal feast in the village Great Hall in the evening and through the night.

"Them Hysterics is having a b-b-banquet for Freya'sday Eve ... looksa scrummy."
