Locsolkodás | Sprinkling

Every year, during eastern Monday, Hungarian men go to women and sprinkle them with water (more often spray). Traditionally, women would be splashed with a bucket of water. This is done so that women will not wither for another year and remain fresh and beautiful. Men have also have to say a poem, and in return for the sprinkling, they receive red-painted eggs.
