Not being a Polish word but a Polish tradition, we celebrated Śmigus-dyngus. Śmigus–dyngus is a Roman Catholic celebration held on Easter Monday across Central Europe. … Traditionally, boys throw water over girls and gently spank them with pussy willow branches (in some regions) on Easter Monday, and girls sometimes do the same to boys. Well the nuns did this to Jean Philippe and Sr. Marilyn did it to Sister Inga.
