Holloko, Hungary

In the small town of Holloko in Northeast Hungary, Easter is celebrated with a tradition known as locsolkodás, or “Sprinkling” in English.

This popular Hungarian Easter Monday tradition sees boys playfully sprinkle perfume, cologne, or nowadays just water, over a young woman’s head, and ask for a kiss.

People used to believe that water had a cleaning, healing, and fertility-inducing effect.

This tradition also takes place in Poland.

Haux, France

In the town of Haux in France, a giant omelette made with 15,000 eggs that feeds 1,000 people is served up in the town’s main square.

The story goes that when Napoleon and his army were traveling through the south of France, they stopped in a small town and ate omelettes.

Besides being crazy football fans, there’s a crazy tradition of creating straw dolls to represent Judas (the apostle known for betraying Christ) and hanging them in the streets and beating them up.
