So while i was researching Easter and why we celebrate it and why does the day change and how other cultures celebrate it, I came across Śmigus-dyngus which is sometimes also called Easter Monday, or Wet Monday. Poland and the Czech Republic celebrate it and i’m part Czech so that means i can celebrate it. Anyways its tradition on this day for a boy who likes a girl to awaken her on monday by pouring a bucket of water on their head and strike their legs with long thin twigs. So if you are awaken tomorrow and your soaked in water you’ll know why :D . Happy Easter!!!
