In Poland and parts of the United States, Easter Monday is called Dyngus Day.
After the long Lenten holiday, Dyngus Day is a day of fun. And, perhaps a little romantic fun.
Boys/men would sprinkle the girls/women with water and and tap them with pussywillows.
Only a handful of cities celebrate this primarily Polish Holiday and probably even fewer than that are even aware of the holiday. My city is one that does it proper
from Wikipedia:
In South Bend, Indiana, the day marks the official beginning to launch the year's political primary campaign season (particularly among Democrats)- often from within the West Side Democratic Club, the M.R. Falcons Club, and local pubs and fraternal halls, where buying drinks is favored over handshaking. Notable politicos who have celebrated Dyngus Day in South Bend include the late Robert F. Kennedy, former Governor Joe Kernan, Senator Evan Bayh, former Congressman John Brademas, former Maryland Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former Congressman and 9/11 Commission member Timothy J. Roemer, former President Bill Clinton, philanthropist Thomas A. White and Aloysius J. Kromkowski, a long time elected St. Joseph County public servant, for whom the "Al Kromkowski polka" is named.
So...Happy Dyngus Day to all.
