Swedish Superstition About Shirts in Heaven
One of Sweden's strangest beliefs holds that a faithful husband whose wife dies first may see his shirt go to heaven with him after death. If he remarries, he must destroy his first shirt on the eve of the second wedding. The custom likely roots in Viking burial practice of placing a warrior in his best clothes, thought to be needed in the afterlife.
