Easter Monday is called 'Wet Monday' in Poland. People are allowed to sprinkle one another with water. It is supposed to bring luck and 'cleanse them from the dirt and sins'.

W Polsce Poniedziałek Wielkanocny zwany jest oczywiście 'Lanym Poniedziałkiem'. Tego dnia można się wzajemnie oblewać wodą, ma to przynieść szczęście i 'oczyścić nas z brudu i grzechów.'

Niestety, w tegoroczny Lany Poniedziałek spadło więcej śniegu niż w ostatnie święta Bożego Narodzenia! W nocy przeszła przez Polskę śnieżyca, która zostawiła nam naprawdę mnóstwo śniegu. Zobaczcie sami:
Happy easter to you...still frozen looks like..:)
ReplyDeleteU nas padało już wczoraj cały dzień. Miłych i nie mokrych od Dyngusa Świąt. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteWesołego Alleluja!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you too - I guess even with snow you got wet!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Easter. Does throwing snowballs count as sprinkling water, given the weather? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd here I have been complaining that the weather is a bit too cold to harden off my seedlings. We have escaped the snow over the last few weeks thankfully. Hope it warms up for you soon!
Hi Dewberry,
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, though the weather seem to not be on your side!
I never heard of wet monday! What a fun tradition! That certainly is a lot of snow. It looks quite heavy on the boughs of the trees.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's not very wet at all. I guess it will be when it all melts. Sounds like a fun tradition. It's fun to learn about these things. Thank you for visiting my blog. :-)
