Easter Day 2

Hi Everyone ! :)

Easter is a 2 day long holiday in Hungary. On Easter Monday the boys from 2 years old from 100 :) gets up early in the morning and they go and visit all of their women relatives, friends, neighbors, often even if they are not close friends. Boys in small groups, fathers with their sons, or single men leave early in the morning and their "tour" last all day long. They greet girls and women with shorter - longer poems (mostly with a funny poem about "Eastern sprinkling") and sprinkle them with cologne. 
Do i like this " tradition" ? No. Do i let my men relatives to sprinkle me ? No. I lock the door and wait for the afternoon and i make sure that nobody wants to surpirse me with water or cologne. Here are some pictures - they are not mine -  so you can imagine this traditon better:

costumes that people wear just for special occasions that day ( Easter Monday )

The gift of the boys and men for the sprinkle from girls. Yes they are hand painted.
