Easter eggs

The typical symbol ofEaster in the Czech

Republicare decorated eggs.We colour eggs or we putstickers on them, too.

Wecan also put them into

lace.

Boys come to the homes

of girls, recite a poem and

theyget a decorated egg and

ribbon. They also get chocolate eggs which

they eat afterwards.

Plaited willow cane

On Monday morning boys usually visit girls and sing carols. Then boys lightly whip girls with plaited willow canes to wish them freshness and good health.

Girls give boys painted Easter eggs and sweets. If the boys arrive after twelve o´clock, the girls

can pour water on them. People say once every four years girls can also go

and sing carols and whip boys.

Easter food

At Easter people bake a chocolate or vanilla sheep shaped cake. Grandmothers bake a typical Easter cake.We usually have it for breakfast. Then we have roast duck,cabbage and dumplings for lunch.

Besides the Easter cake and sheep shaped cake we enjoy lots of other sweets at Easter, for example chocolate eggs and chocolate rabbits.

I like Easter beause we have a spring holiday then.

On Sunday we colour eggs with my mum and my brother.

On Monday we go and sing carols with my dad and brother. We get a lot of eggs. My mum is always very happy.

After Easter we eat eggs all week

This year Easter will be on April 20th and 21st. I am looking forward to it.
