EASTER

Easter is one of the most

popular holidays in the year.

With Easter comes

the start

of spring, after

the long

winter

The egg is a symbol of new life in this season. In Egland people hardboil eggs, paint them bright

colours and give them to children on Easter

Sunday.

The eggs and sweets are

usually hidden in the house

or in the garden by a rabbit called the Easter

Bunny.

In some villages funny races are popular

where eggs are rolled down a hill.

Czech girls and women paint funny

faces on the

eggs.

They give them to boys on Easter

Monday.

Czech boys and men

make plaited

willow rods.

And on Easter

Monday….

…. they gently hit all

the girls for good luck and beauty.

In Moravia people pour

water or perfume on their friends.
