Lasten juhlat - Rotinoista rippikouluun

This Finnish-language book presents stories of children's festivities in Finland in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the countryside, Finns traditionally celebrated only the beginning and end of childhood - birth and baptism, and confirmation. Children of the urban upper classes were more likely to be celebrated regularly with birthday and name-day parties.

Lasten juhlat covers both the urban and rural traditions of Finnish children's parties, as well as the experiences of children in holiday festivities through the year. More modern Finnish styles of celebrating baptism and birthdays are also included. Black and white illustrations.
