Polish tradition?

Latest comment: 3 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

i wonder why Poland is not mentioned in this page. Wielkanoc, easter, is one of the most important times of the year in Poland and their rituals around this time are very significant and interesting. One unique example, is the day after Easter Sunday, Śmigus-dyngus, where people spray water on each other whilst shouting "Śmigus-dyngus" ~2026-21143-65 (talk) 10:22, 5 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

If you can provide some Reliable Sources from media publications that cover the significance of Easter to Polish tradition then we can cover it in this article! You could even link the sources here and ask for other editors to help! I'm sure the community would be more than happy to lend a helping hand. Eruditess (talk) 14:41, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Eruditess, it is not a matter of sources, but of duplication of content. We already have the article Śmigus-dyngus which covers Easter Monday celebrations in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and several other areas of Central Europe. Dimadick (talk) 06:10, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
