Why is Czech Easter so special? / Jak vypadaji ceske Velikonoce?

Easter is just around the corner so I wanted to put you in the mood:

  • If you are not familiar with the Czech Easter traditions, read a wholesome and educational article on the My Czech Republic blog (click here).
  • If you are not into educating yourself today and would just like to read my personal story about Czech Easter click here
  • If you don’t feel like reading at all and would rather mindlessly browse through some cool pictures of traditional Czech eggs which are called Kraslice look down here:

CZ: Velikonoce jsou uz za dvermi a s nimi i krasne ceske tradicni obyceje, jako je napriklad tvorba kraslic. Pokochejte se nize uvedenymi fotkami, ktere zachycuji momenty, jak ty kraslice vlastne prijdou na svet a jak po tom jejich zrozeni vlastne vypadaji.

Jestli jste jeste necetli me blaznive zazitky z Velikonoc, kdyz jsem byla mala, urcite tak ucinte (kliknete zde).

    oops I did not check my spelling!
    I received an interesting recipe for Czech Easter bread made with baking powder.
    I will try it but yeast bread is different. I will let you know how it turns out.
    Happy Easter and Vesele Velikonoce.

    Yes, Happy Easter (Vesele Velikonoce) to everyone! I haven’t tried to make Easter cake (Mazanece) or Velikonocni beranek (Easter Lamb cake) but that’s on my list of life accomplisments. I will let you know when I make a check mark next to those two things.

    Daso, I think it’s definitely time to pull out your egg gear! This article is almost like a divine calling for you 😉

    Excuse me. I am a granny that is with it and not wearing depends and you younger folks better stop being so arrogant. If you are lucky you will live to be older.

    Depending on the skirt and the amount of layers, you have to lift all the sukne, sorec, fertusek all at the same time and then pull down your tights or pantyhose. Now thinking about it, if you are by yourself, I would recommend pulling the pantyhose down first and lifting your skirts up second. Another tip go to the bathroom before you get dressed it helps a lot.

    Hm…zajimave. A nikdo to na sebe nebere comando?
