Easter in slovakia
   Easter is the most significant Christian
    holiday. Because it is a moveable
    holiday, its date changes every year.
    Christians begin Easter celebration on
    Holy Thursday. Good Friday is a state
    holiday in Slovakia. While many people
    usually do not go to work, stores and
    supermarkets are usually open.
   On Good Friday, the day of abstinence,
    Christians commemorate the death of
    Jesus Christ. Then on Easter Sunday
    then celebrate the resurrection of the
    Lord Jesus Christ; however, not only
    Christians celebrate Easter. Easter
    preparations begin days before Easter.
    To be ready for the feast, people bake
    pastries, cookies, and do extensive
    grocery shopping.
   Easter dinner menu is always
    festive: potato salad with
    mayonnaise, cooked ham, cold
    cuts, and sandwiches are served on
    Easter Sunday as well as on Easter
    Monday. Cookies and pastries
    cannot be excluded from the Easter
    menu.
Easter in slovakia
   “Oblievacka” (water pouring) is a typical
    Easter Monday custom in Slovakia. The
    character of oblievacka slightly varies from
    region to region. On this day men visit their
    female relatives and friends and pour water on
    them or spray them with perfume, and whip
    them gently with special whips made of
    braided willow rods. According to tradition,
    pouring water on women will guarantee their
    beauty and good health throughout the year.
Easter in slovakia
   Recently oblievacka and sibacka (whipping) have
    not been as intense as they used to be in the past
    decades. In many regions, water buckets have been
    replaced with perfumes, a small syringe filled with
    water, a water cup, or a water pistol. However, in
    some villages you may still see young
    men, sometimes riding on the horses or dressed in
    traditional folk costumes, who come with rattles
    and braided whips decorated with colorful
    ribbons. They may take females out of the houses
    and douse them with a bucket or buckets filled
    with cold water. During this tradition men may
    sing songs and play the accordion.
Easter in slovakia
   After oblievacka and sibacka, women reward
    men with sweets, fruit, money, or painted
    Easter eggs. Easter eggs or kraslice are quite
    popular in Slovak tradition. Kraslice are
    painted, dyed, or otherwise decorated blown
    eggs. Many decorate kraslice at home or buy
    them at market or at the craft store. While it is
    not required to give Easter eggs to visiting
    males on Easter Monday, only a few men will
    leave the house without a drink or small
    refreshment.
