Easter Bucket Challenge in Hungary :-) Small boys learn this rhyme when they are still in the kindergarten, and they sing it to girls on Easter Monday.Through the greenwood going.I saw a blue violet growing. I saw it start to wither .Can I water this flower?” Many young men, even older men, do the same, though the range of verses at their disposal is rather wider, sometimes more sophisticated, occasionally more spicy. This practice goes back to an old country custom. On Easter Monday, young farmhands are allowed to throw a bucket of cold well water over girls of marriageable age; and even to dip them in a stream. The girls scream and resist, but are secretly delighted. The ritual now involves women of all ages, married or unmarried, with female relations just as much a target as girlfriends, neighbors and work colleagues.
