Hello Friends!
Firstly, I want to say Happy Easter Monday & this one I take it this Easter Monday.
Well, i'm from Czech so this is our tradation, you guys are reading from this article & know about our tradation.
I want to something about our Easter Monday Tradation. Easter Monday, the first Monday after the first full moon in April. Traditionally, Czech boys & men braid willow branches (pomlázky) and adorn them with lots of colorful Ribbons. Then they go caroling & visiting female friends whom they gently switch with their pomlázky. In return their female friends present them with some colored eggs, chocolate & other treats!
The head of the household switched everyone, including livestock, for good luck.
Easter Monday is a day of joy for children and adults alike and is the most active day during Easter in Prague. In Prague the coloured type is most popular as when you boil the eggs you just add colour and it impregnates the eggshell. May be its painted, may be coloured or even just white also! The best known rhyme still remains always our tradation.

"Hody, Hody, Doprovody
dejte vejce malovany,
nedate-li malovany,
dejte aspon bily,
vsak vam slepicka snese jiny."

Just love this rhyme to our tradation.
