Water Monday Battle

Poland, Warsaw

The Easter season in Poland ends on Monday, when the traditional "Smigus-Dyngus" custom has place. The young people are pouring water on one another with lots of fun.
It is a very ancient Easter tradition. This day (Monday after Easter Sunday) is called also in Polish "Wet Monday" and it is a holiday, free of work day

Great fun! You were sensible to stay out of the action!

That looks like great fun indeed. Quite a unique tradition this is.

I see you stayed up in the tower well out of reach of the battle :>) A little water never hurt anyone...just don't wet me. LOL!

I hear on the news that the polish government has tried to restrict these kind of water-combats. That there will be fines to pay if the person you pour water on is unwilling. Obviously none of the children on the picture is unwilling! Looks like they are having a lot of fun!
