A Fastelavn full of lovin’
On Sunday, February 24, the Scandinavian holiday of Fastelavn was celebrated at the Danish Athletic Club in Dyker Heights. Complete with an accordion player and traditional centerpieces, the party, held a week after Fastelavn actually took place, celebrated the beginning of Lent.
Ingeborg Videingstad and Turid Østensen were at the Danish Athletic Club celebrating their second Fastelavn with the group, and were excited to spend time with friends and learn more about their Norwegian heritage.
I looked it up this morning, Østensen stated. I learned more about Fastelavn before I even came, I want to know more.
