Framed Print of Easter Customs - Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic there are many customs tied up with the Easter weekend. One such custom is illustrated on this postcard. On Easter Sunday, while the girls paint their Easter eggs, the boys get ready for an Easter prank, making whips from braided twigs. On the Monday after Easter, the boys and men travel through the village where the boys use the whips on girls, stopping at every house to recite Easter poems while whipping the legs of every girl or woman in the house. Afterward the girl ties a ribbon around the boys whip (as illustrated here) and gives him an egg. The boy with the most ribbons wins. This card sees two mischievous Czech boys awaiting a likely target approaching... Date: 1908. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection
