Expansion
[edit]There are vast sections on the topic in Easter#Non-religious_Easter_traditions and in Easter Monday. Unfortunately they are completely unreferenced and I don't want to see anything here moved from there. Some info is also duplicated in them.
An additional word of caution: I saw a number of webpages which contain the same pieces of info. Most of them do not provide sources for their info and now it is difficult to guess who copied from whom: they from wikipedia or wikipedia from them. In any case I strongly suggest to be rather careful and select really reliable sources: books and other texts by reputable ethnologists.
Eventually It will be good idea to collect all games/customs here leaving "Easter" and "Easter Monday" as general pages, with summary sections about games, per wikipedia:Summary style. `'Míkka>t 02:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
pomlázka
[edit]For those who want to write that in Slovak it is called korbáč (as you may find it aped in many Anglophone websites), please know that korbáč is a general-purpose word meaning whip, borrowed from Turkish "kırbaç" when these lands were Rumelia. `'Míkka>t 02:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
