Like other countries, Hungary is also celebrating Easter. During this holiday, Hungarians perform Easter traditions and enjoy lots of activities. The famous Easter traditions in Hungary are Water sprinkling and Easter egg decorating. Water sprinkling is one of the old customs of courtship in Hungary. And they call this tradition “locoslas.” During Easter Monday, Hungarian boys will recite rhymes and poems when they visit the girls. After reciting poems and rhymes, men will sprinkle them to assure that they will become excellent wives and mothers to their future children.

On the other hand, Hungarians are also fond of egg painting. Each place in Hungary has a distinction of designs and color combinations. There are also unique styles and techniques. Before proceeding to paint, the egg must be boiled, or the contents are removed through a small hole. This activity is usually done on Saturday. When Sunday comes, the best eggs will be placed on the dinner table.
