Happy Easter!
This weekend is Easter weekend, when Christians all over the world will be gathering to celebrate the resurrection of Christ on Sunday. Easter is one of my favorite holidays! Spring is a beautiful time of renewal! Spring has definitely sprung here in Prague–in just the past few days leaves are popping out, flowers and fruit trees everywhere are blooming, and we can finally see the sun! It is a beautiful time here in the Czech Republic!
My husband and I will be going to his mother’s for Easter–and meeting with the whole family there, or at my brother-in-law’s house. I’m hoping for my brother-in-law’s house as they have a beautiful garden where we usually spend the afternoon–weather permitting! This doesn’t help my allergies at all, but with a little forethought I can manage to make it through mostly OK when we’re out there! I plan ahead for these visits–just as I would before traveling. Most of the same procedures can be followed. I have to be sure to take all medications with me, including emergency medications for a bad allergic reaction. I have to pack my own food and also check the forecast for weather and pollen counts. All of this goes a long way to help me enjoy a weekend with the relatives and keep me safe and mostly healthy!
If you would like to learn more about Czech Easter traditions, please head over to my other blog, Czech Off the Beaten Path . Easter here is very interesting–with everything from men whipping women to kraslice (Czech Easter eggs)!
I would like to wish you all a very blessed, beautiful and happy Easter!
