EASTER – VELIKONOCE 🐣

Easter is an important holiday in many countries. People celebrate it in spring. It is a time of new life, flowers, and fresh energy. 🌷

In the Czech Republic, we have many Easter traditions. We decorate eggs, bake special food, and boys visit girls with a braided willow whip (pomlázka). But what about Easter in English-speaking countries?

Let´s have a look at some Easter vocabulary

Easter = Velikonoce

Easter egg = velikonoční vajíčko

decorated eggs = malovaná vajíčka

chocolate egg = čokoládové vajíčko

Easter bunny = velikonoční zajíček 🐰

spring = jaro

holiday = svátek

bake = péct 

perníčky = gingerbread cookies

hot cross bun = mazanec

Easter lamb cake = velikonoční beránek 

pomlázka = braided willow whip

Boys use a braided willow whip called „pomlázka“. It is a traditional Czech Easter whip made from willow branches.

We bake an Easter lamb cake. It is a traditional Czech dessert.

Easter traditions in the UK and USA

In the UK and the USA, people celebrate Easter a bit differently.

Children look for chocolate eggs in the garden. This is called an Easter egg hunt. The Easter bunny brings the eggs to children.

People also eat special food. In the UK, they eat hot cross buns (sweet bread with a cross on top).

In the USA, there is a famous event: The Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
