So many countries, so many customs - part 2

Hello again!

As I said last time, I would like to continue the topic which I started last time. Now I'll write about Easter in four more countries.

The Czech Republic
Most of people in Czech Republic are atheists so it is hard to tell about some religious traditions. Easter is the first day of spring for them. Days have their own colours: Monday is blue, Thursday id green and Saturday is white. A tradition in most of houses is a flowerpot with the cereals, mainly with a wheat.

Italy
Easter is a family day with a very important solemn dinner. Meals are very significant for Italians so they prepare many special meals, for example mutton, lamb or Colomba. They don't pay attention to Easter Egg or to a basket of food sprinkled with holy water. Italians often leave out of town or they go on longer trips.

Germany and Austria
The traditions is that kids and also adults get gifts, for example Easter Eggs, some biscuits or sweets and many other things. They are also decorating their houses by trees with eggs hanging down. On their tables we can find pancakes, aniseed flavoured cakes or pudding.

That's all about that topic. I think you'll like it!
See you soon,

J.
