It is the lone Saturday that sits in the midst of the Easter holiday sandwich. In Øksfjord it is referred to as Easter Eve and although it is not a public holiday, the buying and selling of alcohol is bound by some quirky laws. As it is an 'eve', or the day preceding a public holiday, wine and spirits are unable to be purchased from the aptly named 'Wine Monopoly'.
This rule also applies to Christmas Eve and incredibly New Years Eve. Beer, cider, cigarettes and fireworks can, however, be freely bought and consumed at one's leisure. Cheers!
