First time I've heard of this ... but it doesn't surprise me... Slovak's aren't known for their tender treatment of women --

On Easter Monday, men take their whips and exercise the tradition. But on Tuesday, it is the women's turn to get their own back


This is a sensible upgrade of an old tradition. Here in America the feminist would insist on banning the tradition.


Still I wish the reporter would explain WHY the women are spanked with spray.

Sour grape feminists that poo poo an old cultural tradition. Here's a survey...

Question: How many uptight feminists liberals with their twisted granny panties in a bunch does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: That's not funny.

Heh, I myself am looking forward to Dyngus Day. Around here, the men throw water at the women while the women beat the men with pussy willows... and good fun is had by all.

One of my goals is to visit Poland during Easter, thank God there is at least one country that still celebrates her Christian heritage.

They'd best not try that here. I'll go Dick Cheney on them.

"...beating women with whips and pouring water or perfume on them..."

sounds kind of kinky!

Thank you for the post, lizol. Do you have a regular PING list...there is always something beautiful and/or educational in your posts!

At our sunrise celebration of The Great Vigil of Easter, the Church was dark and everyone coming in got a candle.

My vision without glasses is difficult sometimes, especially in the dark, but when those candles were all lit, each person having lit the candle of the person to the next of them, they didn't look like candles anymore, they looked like angels.

It was a most awesome and unexpected sight to see so many of these tiny angel-like lights being the only light in the Church until the sun rose.

The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
