The title places this scene in the north, which sets it apart from the many Easter pictures that show gardens or flowering meadows. In northern countries the holiday often arrived while snow still lay on the ground and daylight was only beginning to lengthen, so early morning church services and cold walks home carried a particular weight. Easter there blended the observance of the resurrection with older spring customs that welcomed the return of light. Pictures of the season from this region often show that tension between lingering winter and the arrival of renewal.
