Czech Holiday Traditions
Czech Easter eggs, known as “kraslice”, are found at markets in Prague not only around Easter, but all year long.
These beautiful hand decorated works of art are probably the most well known symbol of the holiday in the Czech Republic. Traditionally, girls decorate the eggs and give them to boys on Easter Monday.
Czechs celebrate Christmas in a big way, and decorating is a huge part of the holiday season.
Skilled artisans create handmade Czech Christmas ornaments, which can be purchased as a wonderful souvenier in many of the shops around Prague.
In the United States, we’ve found the best place to get Czech Christmas ornaments is at Bronner’s Christmas Store in Frankenmuth, Michigan, about an hour north of Detroit.
