A “primstav” is a traditional Norwegian calendar stick that marks the passage of time with single vertical incisions for regular days and special symbols to denote festival days. Most of the latter relate to Christian holy days, though some pagan traditions have survived.
There are 2 seasons on the primstav: spring and winter. Spring begins on 14 April and these days are depicted on one side of the stick. On 14 October, the stick is turned over to reveal the days and holidays for winter.
