Do not be afraid, For He has Risen. Easter time in this city and it is bitterly cold. Was suppose to snow, but the clouds mixed with the sun prevented that from happening.

I started the day by attending Mass at The Church of the Infant Jesus. This most beautiful place holds the beloved statue of the Infant of Prague. I will not go into a religious lesson about this, but let’s just say He does wonders. I heard about this from my mother when I was little. We had a couple of these statues in our house. Always facing the front or back door. My grandmother donated one that was about 3 feet to my elementary school, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Tempe, AZ. He sat outside the principal office across the library. I often wonder if it is still there.It is believed that if He faces that way, you will never want for food or need. I chose to sit in a pew close to the Statue. It is a glorious sight to see. On a side note, because I like to observe the people around me, there was a lady wearing a full length mink coat and a pair of UGGS. She rocked it.

Afterwards we went back to the lovely man who weaves the scarfs. His name is Evxen. The big guy needed to buy one cause he lost his other one. He told us about a great Czech place for a late lunch, Lokal. It did not disappoint. We sat way below the restaurant in the cellar. The food was exactly like he said it would be, delicious. I cleaned my plates.

We then took a tour of the city in a classic car….convertible…..but wrapped up in a blanket. He took us down side streets, ally ways, places that we had not seen yet, but now were able to. We then walked to see the Astronomical Clock to see the figures move when the clock chimes on the hour. Alas, the place is being renovated, so all you get is a slide show of what it looks like. Apparently it is the 12 Apostles going by while the bell rings.

Easter Monday is huge here. Kids hunt for eggs in the square. Most of Europe has this day off. A time of celebration and family time. It will be something to see.
