Liturgical ceremonies on the individual days of the Holy Week, starting with Palm Sunday and ending with the Resurrection of the Lord, remind believers of the key events in the Easter story. After the pain of Good Friday and sorrow of Holy Saturday, the only day in the year in which no services are celebrated, the holy mass on Easter Sunday brings forth the joyful spirit of new hope. It recalls the most important event in the Christian faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter services in English, Spanish, and Italian are held at the Church of Our Lady Victorious (Church of the Infant Jesus).

Most historical sites, galleries and museums remain open during the holidays, but we recommend checking their websites just to make sure. For example, the heritage sites in Prague’s Jewish Town will be closed on 2, 3, 8 and 9 April, and the National Gallery will be closed on Easter Monday. The operation of public transport during the Easter holidays is governed by the timetables for Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. (On Friday 3 April according to Saturday timetables, on Monday 6 April according to Sunday timetables). Live Video Old Town Square is the traditional focus of Easter Markets in Prague.
