"Another celebration during this same time of year is that of St. Nicholas held on 6th December. St. Nicholas, angels and devils walk from house to house on the evening before St. Nicholas Day and give presents to the children who have behaved well. Parents warn their children throughout the year that if they misbehave, they will be taken away by the devil on St. Nicholas day.

The second most celebrated religious holiday is Easter which we celebrate in early spring. On Easter Monday all men and boys go from house to house and whip the women with a stick made of woven willows. The women in return give them decorated eggs or ribbons.

In the Czech Republic we celebrate many public holidays: New Year´s Eve. We call it Silvester and we celebrate the beginning of the new year. Everyone enjoys the last hours of the year. At midnight people drink champagne and toast for happiness and prosperity in the new year, hoping that it will be better than the previous year. Many people make New Year´s resolutions promising themselves to give up bad habits in the following year.

The 1st of January is called the New Year´s Day. On 1st May we celebrate a holiday of working. The 8th of May is the day of the liberation of Czechoslovakia from the Nazis and marks the end of the Second World War. The 5th of July is the day of St. Cyril and St. Method who came from Byzantia to teach the people of Great Moravia how to read and write.
Master Jan Hus, a Catholic preacher of the commons was burned to death at the stake as
a heretic on 6th July 1415. The day of the rise an independent Czechoslovakia in 1918 we celebrate on 28th October. The day of our ancestors is on 2nd November. This day is dedicated to honouring deceased family members. We go to the cemetery to place flowers and candles on their graves. "
