One of my favorite things to do around Easter is to stroll through the Prague Easter markets, which will be up through April 11th in Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. There are over one hundred stalls selling everything from wooden toys, Czech crystal, jewelery, candles, marionettes, etc. But the stall that I'll be headed for is the one selling hand-blown & hand-painted eggs (kraslice), for Easter just isn't complete without them! These eggs are the most recognizable symbol of Czech Easter. Girls decorate eggs to give them to boys on Easter Monday (not a typo... we celebrate Easter on Monday).
