Easter, or Velikonoce (from Veliké noci or Great Nights) was greatly suppressed under the communist regime prior to 1989. Since then, the traditions of Easter have been making a wonderful comeback and while the religious aspects are known and talked about, it is not considered a serious religious holiday. Instead, it is a celebration for the coming of spring.
Many of the Czech Easter customs and folk traditions are still observed and practiced, especially in villages.

Wonderful customs, beautiful artwork and photos.
AAAAAAND, I am going to dig out my lamb form from the back of the cupboard. I’ve never done one bare, since I did cake decorating and always loved to gild the lily.
Awesome Millie!
We’d love to see your lamb when she’s all finished!
Every day this week we’re posting Easter goodies to make sure to check back!
