Easter Monday! I've been waiting for this day whole month!
OK, honestly, I don't like Easter Monday very much. Reason?
In Czech Republic, we hold on to many many traditions, that belong to Easter.
1. One day before Easter Monday, all of the girls have to dye eggs to some color. Then they decorate it with some ornaments from little wooden pieces or ornament from wax.
It looks like this (with wax):
3. On Easter Monday,
boy takes his stick and beats girls from the family. Then he usually takes handbasket and goes to his friends' home, or to people from building and beats all of the ladies, because boys beat only girls, never other way round ( not fair :D ). This tradition means, that if the boy beats girl with this stick, girl is younger and fresher.
Then, after this beating, girls give boys that eggs as thanks to them.
Ok, it's not that bad...It is fun :). Maybe you could try it too!
Love, Teresa
