This tradition involves beating women with braided willow sticks. In return for the beating, men receive whiskey, eggs and sweets.
The men are supposed to recite a poem while they beat women, and since my friends found it, I haven't stopped hearing it. Seriously. It's almost the end of April (don't make me leave!) and my friends recited the poem yesterday.
The braided willow stick is called pomlazka and can be purchased most everywhere. This was excellent, as it allowed me the chance to purchase one to defend myself with. And defend I did. Everybody was evenly beaten by the end of the holiday. I may or may not have added a chair into the mix. Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
