2. We go to the church, decorate
homes and we buy presents for
the family and friends. We
usually eat cabbage soup, a
carp with potato salat, waffles,
honey, garlic and an apple.
After dinner the family talk,
sing, eat cakes and unwrap
presents.

3. People decorate homes
with everything
reminding spring. On
Easter Monday boys whip
and souse girls. Then girls
give them painted eggs,
chocolate or money.

4. The Slovak Christians
start 40-day lent.
They stop all balls
and they „bury“ a
bass instrument.

completion of the
harvest. Then there is
a banquet with music

make merry with
family and friends.

6. It's in the late of September. When the grape
vintage is finished we have a vintage festival. In
our country we have many roundabouts,
refreshment stands and many people are in the
town.

7. Each of Slovak regions has
its own folk costume. Each
costume has
embroideries, which are

instrument similar to the flute.
