Finnish independence day ritual - the shaking of hands.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/32844100

Picture of a widely shared ritual in modern Finland: people gathering to family homes on Finlands independence day December 6, to watch in TV how our president and his/her's spouse shake hands with all the people invited to their official independence day party.

It takes about 2-4 hours, people drink and eat while discussing the outfits and persons shaking hands.
