Easter traditions - Wet Monday in Poland

[Kupar 13,339]

I had no idea about this Easter tradition. Apparently in Poland, according to the BBC website: "people throw water over each other on Easter Monday. It's known as Wet Monday and happens in many other countries too. It's a tradition is connected with the baptism of a Polish prince hundreds of years ago."

Now this is a tradition I would very much like to observe and take part in 🙂. Can anyone who knows more tell me whether it's as much fun as it sounds?

Well it's certainly a wet Bank Holiday Monday here in the North of England.   I'm quietly hopeful that the weather will improve from lunchtime onwards though.

yes, I agree with this: Lany Monday - a holiday tradition in Poland, also called Śmigus-dyngus

Looking out of the window right now, and northern England looks like there's a tradition of 'the sky' throwing water at people.

Guess Lany Monday could be a lot of fun, as long as it's a nice warm day (what the hell, I'm already soaked - may as well warm up a little more).
