Easter traditions


Today is Oblyvany Ponedilok (Wet Monday)
In Ukraine, water and fire have always had magical properties, protecting against evil spirits and bringing men health, strength, joy and prosperity. To mark the coming of spring, our ancestors ritually doused one another with water, an ancient custom linked to purification, cleanliness and strength. Later, this ancient tradition was gradually integrated into the cycle of Easter celebrations..
When girls and boys sprinkle each other with water, the summer rains will increase and crops will flourish, and they will be clean, healthy, strong. Young girls will marry their dream prince and young men will find their true love.
The new spring year also begins with Mother Nature and Mother Earth awakening from their deep winter sleep. Spring is greeted joyfully with dances, games and songs called hayivky/vesnianky.






That is how Oblyvany Ponedilok (Wet Monday) started in Lviv. The mayor of the city Andriy Sadovyi came to open the “water zone” and became the first “victim” of children
