Happy Easter to all. Easter Sunday is the biggest holiday in the Catholic year following weeks of preparation and transformation in Lent.

Czech Republic also celebrates Easter Monday with the age old tradition of “schmigrust” or whipping of girls and women with willow branches in exchange for eggs and ribbons.
In Slovak Republic girls are doused with water or colognes.

With joy in our hearts we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 
However in many cultures around the world it is also the celebration of spring and new life.

We rejoice with nature awakening from long winter sleep. 

Watch for Earth day observation on Saturday,  April 22.

Don’t forget to plant something.
