On every Monday after Easter the young girls and a young boys are starting chase each others on the streets of Poland. Boys are caring a bucket or something fills with water to splash the girl they like with the water. The believe is that the girls who get splash going to get married the same year…. Not necessary with the boys who splash her… :0)
