- Throughout the year the people practise many old customs especially at Easter.
On Easter Sunday morning they rise at six o'clock to see the sun dancing because that is the day that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
Everyone eats eggs on Easter Sunday and a few days before the children hide eggs in a corn stack or behind a ditch. They get the eggs from the neighbours.
