Chasa from Lanžhot enjoying Easter

But duty is duty, and in every house, the young men, who, of course, are dressed in traditional clothes in one of the folklore fortresses, have some kind of entertainment waiting for them. Fourteen youths began their journey through the city in front of the hall in the morning.

“We don’t go to old age just yet, we go in one direction and move through Lanžhot. If it’s the route from old age first to old age second and then all the girls, we’ll just walk around Lanžhot. So we proceed systematically. From end to end,” said one of the costumed youths.

“There were about twenty houses waiting for us, where we had the girls from the chase. There were two somewhere. This year we finally celebrated Easter, as usual, without any nos and nos, so we enjoyed it,” added Ludvík Prajka, which determines the direction of the patrol and watches over them to get up again at individual stops and continue on their way.

It wasn’t easy, because every girl’s family took great care to make a decent visit. The idea, which he tried to implement somewhere, that after the twelfth they had the right to “whip” the girls, so that in the odyssey chasing the girls, had no chance of succeeding. Lanžhot, and other villages in the Podluží region, are strongholds of folklore.

The decorated costumes became the object of admiration of all visitors. Easter and other folk customs were taught there by the future chasa not only at home, but also in kindergartens, who continued to preserve traditions as one of his priorities.
