Every Easter almost all families bakes Easter lamb. It is something like Easter cake ...

Some families bake Easter stuffing prepare of soaked bread, smoked meat, chopped herbs, young nettles and eggs - and Easter buns servered with butter and honey.

Next day after Easter, many people eat something with eggs, because eggs are prizes for carolling... / Lucy/

I will talk about Czech tradition called "Carroling".

Carroling



The special thing of carroling is whip. If you want to make Easter whip, you have to cut thin branches, then plait some kind of braid of these branches and tie colourful ribbons on your special Easter whip!

Only men make Easter whips. They are called carollers. On Easter Monday they go around houses, from door to door to chase girls and women. It´s very funny.. but sometimes painful, too. After chasing men receive some eggs, sweet and spirit in return.

In my family no one goes carroling and we don´t open the door for carrolers./ Dana/

Easter

In our country we have Easter as folk-memory. For boys it is a very good day, because we can punch girls. For this we use Easter whips. We must make it from twigs and ribbons and we can go carroling but we must be fast, because girls after 12:00 a.m. can throw cold water on us. I like carolling because I can get a lot of eggs and sweets. / Peter/
