What Were Your Childhood Easter Traditions?
My daughter-in-law is from Hungary, and I asked her how she celebrated when she was growing up. I thought her response was very interesting:
"My grandma always went to church on Easter. My parents didn't continue that tradition. We always had egg hunt and lots of food. Also, there is a Hungarian tradition where the boys and men come to visit the girls and women. They ask permission to water them because they are like flowers that need water to blossom. And then they put a few drops of cologne on their heads. (100 years ago it was a bucket of ice cold water, but that tradition luckily isn't alive very much anymore.) In exchange the girls and women give Easter eggs (nowadays money)."
