HADRAVOVÁ, Kateřina
Abstract The theoretical part of the graduation thesis deals with Easter holidays, customs and traditions. It focuses mainly on the history and development of Easter eggs and especially in the Jindřichův Hradec region. It describes the techniques and tools that are used to decorate Easter eggs. It documents the Easter eggs patterns typical for this region and introduces some creators. In the practical part of the graduation thesis the author created, based on previous documentation and consultation with the creators of Easter eggs, samplers of own motives. The first sampler is based on the so-called "blatské straky" patterns and builds on some of the traditional patterns of the region. The second one is inspired by nature and it is the artistic stylization of flowers and leaves. Both samplers are for inspiration for creative work in creative clubs or school environment. Also they should help to maintain the traditional Easter customs.

The theoretical part describes school children{\crq}s messrom activities at free play time, characterizes guidelines of activities in school children{\crq}s messrom programs, and explores difficulties in value development from physiological, pedagogical anthropology and axiology, philosophy and religious ethics. This thesis also analyzes children of younger school age and studies normal childhood development and phases of development relating to human religiosity. It also includes the issues surrounding today{\crq}s education system relating to religion. The practical part of this thesis is based upon survey research conducted in two elementary schools. The survey subject was directed relating to the meaning of Christian holidays such as Easter and Christmas, preternatural phenomena and the perplexity surrounding death. It emerged from this survey research that the majority of young children are unaware of the meaning of Christian holidays such as Easter or Christmas, that they are interested in preternatural phenomena, and think intensively about death. Three weeks of learning guidelines are presented within this thesis. These guidelines are based on the survey study and cover the religious meanings of Christian holidays, specifically Christmas and Easter, and perplexity surrounding death.
