En tradition i påsken, som er specielt for den danske kultur, er gækkebreve. Et gækkebrev er et nt udklippet stykke papir som sendes vedhæftet en vintergæk. Vintergækken er den første forårsblomst og hedder således fordi den driller eller rettere gækker med vinteren. Brevet sendes anonymt til modtageren der så skal gætte hvem afsenderen er. I brevet skal der være et rim eller vers hvor

Dette er ofte skrevet med udklippet bogstaver som er limet i brevet eller med venstre hånd så ens håndskrift ikke afslører en. Hvis afsenderen gættes indenfor 3 dage så skal de give en gave, som regel et chokoladeæg, hvis ikke det gættes så skal modtageren give. Gækkebreve sendes oftest af børn men også gerne voksne der kan lide at drille.
One tradition during Easter that is special to the Danish culture is that of sending teaser letters. A teaser letter is a piece of paper that has been cut into di erent shapes and it is sent attached to a Snowdrop. The Snowdrop is the rst spring ower and it is said to tease winter, therefore the name in Danish means Vinterteaser. A teaser letter is sent anonymously and the receiver has to guess who the sender is. In the letter there has to be a rhyme or a hint as to the sender's name. This is often written with cut out letters glued to the letter or written with the left hand so has to not reveal the sender. If the sender is guessed within three days then they have to give a present, usually a chocolate egg; if the person doesn't guess then they have to give a gift instead. Teaser letters are usually sent by children but also sometimes by adults that like to tease.

Det anslås at mere end 3.000 danskere døde under Anden Verd en skrig på grund af Nazi-Tysklands besættelse. En yderligere 4.000 døde under krigene mod den tyske hær eller som tvungne soldater i den tyske hær. 1941 siges at være det år hvor den danske modstandsbevægelse blev dannet. Bevægelsen startede op langsomt i 1940, grunden til denne langsomme opstart kan ndes i det faktum at Nazi-tyskland var mildere ved Danmark end de andre europæiske nationer, som det besatte. Dette skyldes at de ikke mødte meget politisk modstand fra danske politikere under besættelsen af Danmark. Den første aktion balndt mange aktioner for bevægelsen var at redde danske jøder til Sverige, da den tyske leder Adolf Hitler beordrede jøderne til at blive deporteret og senere dræbt. Dette resulterede i at kun omkring 100 danske jøder blev dræbt.
It is estimated that more than 3,000 Danes died in during World War II because of the Nazi Germany occupation. An additional 4,000 died ghting the German army or as forced soldiers in the German army. The Danish Resistance Movement is said to have been established in 1941. The movement started to form in 1940 but unlike others, it was slow to establish because Nazi Germany was actually more lenient on Denmark than it was on the other European nations it occupied. The reason for this was that the Nazi forces didn't meet much resistance from the politicians when occupying Denmark. One of the rst actions the movement is credited for was rescuing the Danish Jews, to Sweden, when German leader Adolf Hitler ordered them to be deported and then later killed. This resulted in only around 100 Danish Jews being killed.
