September was a very sad month for most of us as we had to return to school.
But it was fun to see our friends again and everybody had a lot of stories. And this year we had a school trip to England. We could compare not only the two countries but also schools because we spent one day in a private school. We also visited Oxford, Stratford upon Avon and London, of course. Good experience! Perhaps September 28 is the second most important holiday in the Czech Republic. It is a holiday related to the tradition of Christianity and the tradition of Saint Wenceslas. On that day, Saint Wenceslas, the duke and future patron of the Bohemian nation, was murdered by his brother Boleslav in Stara Boleslav. Every year there is a Saint Wenceslas´s pilgrimage organized in this place, and at Prague Castle the president awards Saint Wenceslas medals to personalities who have contributed to the Czech statehood.
