Easter Monday Spanks in the Czech Republic


The Czech Republic has a custom of men spanking women with handmade whips made of willow which are adorned with ribbons and feathers. The friendly spanks symbolize fertility and good health transferred from the willow tree. For their considerate whipping, the men are rewarded with colored eggs.

 

While Easter is observed worldwide, some countries have a surprising way to celebrate this holiday of rebirth and fertility. Enjoy your backyard egg hunt, and then consider some of these traditions from across the globe. From pot throwing, to spanking, to an annual ‘egg roll,’ these Easter customs are certainly interesting!
