The short development of the massive spruce was preceded by brief speeches by Prague politicians, who generally wished them a nice Advent and also talked about the epidemic.
Government regulations limit the gathering of people, so Prague has decided to light a Christmas tree this year without the presence of the public. However, the mayor of the capital city of Prague, Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates), promised that people would not lose the event completely.
“Unfortunately, for security reasons, we are forced to organize the lighting of the Christmas tree without the classic accompanying program. Praguers and fans from other Czech regions will not lose the traditional experience this year either. We will try to transfer it at least in the form of a video recording, “Hřib informed.
According to the portal of the capital city of Prague, spruce is decorated with six kilometers of light chains, several hundred Christmas balls in blue, white and red or forty light stars. The tree lit up in the colors of the tricolor. At the top is a three-meter tip.
“During this difficult time, we chose the traditional Czech tree. We let the public decide on the form of lighting when voting on social networks. In addition, in this difficult period, the tricolor state symbols, including the national flag, “explained Prague Councilor Jan Chabr.
Eighteen-meter-high Norway spruce traveled to the Old Town Square from Kamenný Přívoz in the Central Bohemian Region on the night from Monday to Tuesday.
