May

Majales
Every year in May secondary school students enjoy their student´s celebration called Majales, as May is also called Maj in the Czech language. The celebration starts with a parade of students - each class is dressed up in their own masks. Last year we were “CIGARETTES”. After the parade we organize entertaining games for small children in Policka´s park. In the square there are some musical and dancing performances, sports competition or games. We like this day because we have fun, especially if the weather is good and we do not have to sit in school!!!

Kissing under the cherry in bloom
In the Czech Republic it is a traditin of kissing under a cherry tree in bloom. On 1st May men and boys kiss women and girlfriends under the tree. People believe that if they are kissed under the cherry tree their love will stay with them for the next year.
