Ordinance, issued by the government of the Kingdom of Bohemia [Present-day Czech Republic]: “As this year, the Jewish Carnival, or Purim, will coincide with Holy Week, specifically on March 24 and 25, i.e., Tuesday and Wednesday before Green Thursday, and the related music and dance-frivolities would be a detriment to the days of grief and prayer prescribed by the dominant Christian-Catholic religion, thus causing a public disturbance and unpleasant consequences; therefore, the Jewry is to be barred vehemently from engaging in this frivolity on March 24 and 25 during Holy Week, such that they may not have it until after the conclusion of Christian Easter holidays; whereas it should be self-understood that nevertheless, prior notice has to be given to the police headquarters in Prague, and in the country, to the town or county manager.”
