Easter is soon upon us, and Brno’s Easter market opened up this weekend.
From a foreigner’s standpoint, Easter in the Czech Republic is both familiar and strange. Familiar Easter eggs decorated in a variety of ways are in abundance. At the same time are the less familiar pomlázkas, a symbolic whip made of braided willow branches.
On the Thursday just before Easter, green beer becomes available for a limited time in pubs around the country. If you’re more familiar with seeing green beer around St. Patrick’s Day, seeing it at Easter would certainly be confusing.
