Filleann margadh na Nollag Prág tar éis COVID ach le níos lú soilse
Thousands of people flooded Prague's medieval Old Town Square over the weekend to light a 25-metre (80 foot) Christmas tree, and reopen the annual market following a two year COVID-19 shut down. However, the energy crisis resulted in fewer lights than usual.
Czechs and tourists love the market's mulled wine and sausages. They also enjoy sweets and gifts.
Jan Chabr, a Prague City Council member, said: "We have decided to reduce the number of illuminated ornaments on the streets and use the most modern LED lighting for the Christmas tree."
The city decided not to turn on the lights all day as it used to, but only from 4pm to midnight.
"We don’t want to take away the festive atmosphere of Christmas or New Year... but we know that energy shouldn’t be wasted."
Ivo Midrla, who runs a stand selling mead, fried potato chips and other beverages, stated that the coronavirus years had made a huge dent in his business.
He said: "We are happy we are doing business. But it won't make up for the two years."
