Easter in Czech

  • EASTER = VELIKONOCE

    We celebrate not only Holly week (from Palm´ s Sunday to Easter ´s Sunday), even The red Monday (after Easter Sunday)... Boys and men have to make a special stick of 8 young willow´ s branches

    and visit with It every women and girl in their neighbourhood. They hit them (not too much and say a special rhyme) to be beauty, happy and healthy.

    Girls or women give them the eggs to thanks (nowadays especialy chocolate eggs).

    Very typical is also lamb cake in our country,

    spinach on Green Thursday

    and "hrkání" - It ´s a habit: young boys walk during Thursday, God Friday and Easter Saturday 5 times the village with special noisy instruments

     

    and substitute bells, which are flyed out in Roma (according to the legend).
