Why I hate the Czech Easter tradition [View all]



"Czech Easter: the tradition that horrifies foreigners who hear about it for the first time. Over here we call it "pomlázka, šmigrust, velikonoce". I didn't add any videos of it here, but I'm sure you'll be able to find them with a simple search. This tradition is also practiced in Slovakia and some other countries. Each region has its specifics, but the core of it stays the same: it's degrading and hurtful towards women. Let me tell you a bit more about it in the video as I draw a sketchbook page themed around Czech Easter, paint some eggs, and introduce you to the Easter illustration I drew last year."
