The Easter time is over but I was very busy those days so today I want to show you how we decorate our houses at those time. And tell you something little about our traditions.
The Easter is very popular Christian holiday in Slovakia. Women are staying at home. They are busy by cooking and baking some traditional food. In Slovakia the traditional food are Paska bread, egg cheese called Hrudka, smoked pork ham, sausages and hard boiled eggs.
To decorate your house is also very important for the Easter. In Slovakia symbols of Easter are mostly bunnies, chickens and lamb.
The most important day is Monday, where women should wake up early to avoid being splashed in their beds 😁 They should be prepared for being splashed many times in that day. So they should have prepared enough dry clothes. This kind of tradition is called in our language "oblievačka" and being whipped is part of it. It's called "šibačka". It's not funny when you are splashed and whipped all day but for men is fun for sure! 😁
SK: Veľká noc je už za nami, no ja som bola posledné dni trošku zaneprázdnená, tak aspoň dnes Vám chcem ukázať nejaké tie naše tradície a fotky s rôznými dekoraciami :) Veľká noc je u nás veľmi populárnym kresťanským sviatkom. Ženy v tieto dni ostávajú doma, pripravujú rôzne jedlá a pečú koláče. Naše tradičné jedlá sú pečený chlieb, Hrudka, udená bravčová šunka, klobásky a vajcia na tvrdo. Dekorácia domov je taktiež dôležitá v tomto období. Najčastejšími symbolmi veľkej noci sú zajace, kuriatka a jahniatka. Najdôležitejším dňom je veľkonočný pondelok. V tento deň by všetky ženy mali vstávať skoro, aby sa vyhli obliatiu vodou v posteli :D Taktiež by mali mať pripravené množstvo suchého oblečenia na prezlečenie. Táto tradícia sa u nás nazýva oblievačka, a sňou je spojená aj šibačka. Pre chlapov je to veľká zábava :D
