Festivals and National Holidays

In the year we have many opportunities for celebrations. Often we celebrate the birthday, name day, wedding and baptism (křest). People can also celebrate elevated (zvýšení) to a better position. We celebrate much National Holidays and festivals in The Czech Republic.

New Year’s Day: (Silvestr)
Each year ends in December 31st. This day we celebrate New Year’s Eve it means the end of the old and the beginning of the New Year. January 1st we call New Year’s Day. Between these days is full of celebration. As midnight everybody stand with a glass of champagne in hand and waiting for the clock to strike midnight. We wish other people all the best in the New Year, health, happiness, love and a lot of success (úspěch).
