The first Monday after Easter, according to ancient Ukrainian tradition is called Wet. This day has always been one of the most fun of the year.
Boys doused girls with water, and they gave them in response pysanky. According to ancient beliefs, on this day water has healing powers. Therefore, ancestors believed – the girl, on which today was poured water, must be married to her beloved boyfriend.
It seems the old beliefs do not have the former meaning, but the tradition of celebrating Wet Monday still exist. 4 years Monday after Easter in Lviv – a spectacular show, in which there are real water fights.
