Easter Monday-Husvet Hetfoje or Vizbeveto
which means if you live in Hungary and you are a woman - you will be getting wet!! Although the custom was a "dousing" with water, we now experience a "sprinkling" of perfume on your head. The "watered" also has a poem recited to her and is supposed to offer a drink, sweetie or colored egg to the gentleman who sprinkled her.
My neighbor Sandor accepted a kiss on the cheek and now the fragrance of inexpensive perfume follows me like a cloud. My eyes are watering!
