Antique Christmas postcards (1907-1913). Although these are in Russian, we can easily guess that they were published in Germany. Pigs are a symbol of prosperity and luck in Germany (along with toadstools, chimney sweeps, four leaf clover and mistletoe). These postcards are packed! :)

There’s this interesting phrasing on antique postcards - «С приятной Пасхой» - have a lovely Easter. It’s not used anymore, but I do think it’s a nice way to put it!
So, to everyone who celebrates today - с приятной Пасхой! :)
