"The Quaintest And Most Controversial Czech Easter Tradition Is Without A Doubt Pomlázka (from The Verb

"The quaintest and most controversial Czech Easter tradition is without a doubt Pomlázka (from the verb pomladit, “make younger”), which involves the whipping of women’s backs by the men and boys of a community, usually a village or small town, with a braided willow rod (pomlázka).

On Easter Monday, boys and men visit houses and drops water on women and girls. They carry a flexible rod made out of wicker which is decorated with. This special rod is used for spanking women.

In exchange for this “favour”, meant to symbolically ensure youth and fertility for the beaten women, men will receive something to eat, usually painted eggs, and liquor."
