Definitely <strong>don&#8217;t miss the fragrant mulled wine or homemade punch<\/strong>, which will warm you up nicely in the frosty foothills. From traditional sweet treats we recommend <strong>crispy trdeln\u00edk, painted gingerbread, or delicious roasted chestnuts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re craving something savory, you&#8217;ll be pleased by hearty <strong>potato pancakes or various cheese specialties<\/strong>. The stalls of course also sell traditional grilled sausages and other meat delicacies for those who typically seek them out at markets. And if you&#8217;re in the mood for something truly original, try handmade pralines or rich hot chocolate. They fit the winter atmosphere under the Christmas tree absolutely perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"liberec\" lang=\"en\" --><!-- LKM_GYG_CARD end -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Czech_Christmas_customs_and_traditions\"><\/span><span id=\"Czech_Christmas_customs_and_traditions\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Czech Christmas customs and traditions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Czech Christmas is full of magical customs that have been passed down from generation to generation. When foreign visitors come to Czechia for the holidays, they&#8217;re often amazed. Here, gifts aren&#8217;t brought by Santa Claus, but by <strong>Je\u017e\u00ed\u0161ek<\/strong> (Baby Jesus), and that happens on the evening of December 24 after Christmas Eve dinner. And what does he look like? Nobody knows \u2013 he&#8217;s never depicted, which adds the right mysterious atmosphere to the evening. Everything also starts as early as December 5, when <strong>St. Nicholas<\/strong> visits children accompanied by an angel and a devil. In December, an <strong>Advent wreath<\/strong> with four candles must grace the table, and cherry branches called Barborky are placed in vases, cut on December 4 so they beautifully bloom by Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From late November, households fill with the aroma of baking <strong>Christmas cookies<\/strong>. Vanilla crescents, linzer cookies, or wasp nests are typically prepared, and it&#8217;s not unusual for more than ten different varieties to gather on the table. For breakfast on Christmas Eve, braided <strong>v\u00e1no\u010dka<\/strong> (Christmas bread) is often sliced. The Christmas Eve dinner itself is incomplete without fish soup and fried carp with potato salad. It&#8217;s because of the carp that tubs of live fish appear on the streets a few days before Christmas, which tends to be quite a shocking sight for tourists. And whoever manages to fast all Christmas Eve day will supposedly see a golden piglet in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christmas here also includes various family fortune-telling traditions. After dinner, an <strong>apple is cut open<\/strong> (a star shape means health, a cross means illness), <strong>walnut shell boats<\/strong> are floated in water, and unmarried girls throw a shoe toward the door to find out if they&#8217;ll marry within the year. Pouring molten lead used to be a custom, but today it&#8217;s replaced with safer wax or tin due to toxicity. The magical Christmas Eve often ends with the traditional midnight mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An interesting fact is the history of Christmas trees in town squares. The very first one in Czechia was lit <strong>on December 13, 1924 in Brno<\/strong> at Freedom Square. The initiator was writer Rudolf T\u011bsnohl\u00eddek, who a few years earlier had found a frozen little girl in the forest. The proceeds from the collection under the tree went to the Dagmar children&#8217;s home. The custom quickly caught on, and today we can&#8217;t imagine Advent markets, whether in Liberec or surrounding cities, without a beautifully lit tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> From Liberec you&#8217;re close not only to the Jizera Mountains, but also to neighboring countries. You can take a trip and discover the Advent atmosphere in nearby Zittau or G\u00f6rlitz, for example. The nearby town of T\u0159ebechovice pod Orebem is also worth a visit, where you&#8217;ll find the famous all-wooden moving T\u0159ebechovice nativity scene, which is a national cultural monument.
