This is how it could look
Educational cultural atlas page comparing Easter traditions across Europe, organized as illustrated panels with location markers on a stylized European map. Six illustrated panels: 1) Poland/Czech Republic — Śmigus-Dyngus: children throwing buckets of water at each other on Easter Monday, soaked and laughing. 2) Germany/Austria/Switzerland — Osterstrauch with colourfully hanging eggs; Osterfeuer. 3) Spain — Semana Santa: dramatic Holy Week processions with iconic pointed capirote hoods, incense, paso floats through narrow streets. 4) Sweden — Easter witches (Påskkärringar): children dressed as Easter witches going door to door exchanging drawings for sweets. 5) Netherlands/Belgium — Easter bells: church bells fly to Rome and return Easter Sunday bringing eggs. 6) Finland — Easter willow branches: children collecting pussy willow branches decorated with feathers, exchanged for candy.
