The Easter Granny


Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Spring 1957. My Toronto Cousin explained that the woman standing behind her is the "Velykinė Babūnė," or "Easter Granny." I recognize the Babūnė's folk costume as one worn by older women, but I've never before heard of the Velykinė Babūnė. Only the rabbit visited our house.

I never minded the bunny, but any Granny looking like that would be OK with me.

She was probably in her thirties.
