Yes, it is tradition on the Easter Monday. It names "oblievacka" - translation is aproximate "fresh showering".

Especialy in middle and east Slovakia.

Boys are visiting girls and freshing their with the cold water. They using pails, favorite

is bathtub or shower in bathrooms. On the countryside is historical tradition, when boys

throwing girls in the ponds or creeks. Girls mostly wears casual clothes, in countryside, historical

formal wear (like dirndl in the Germany). Slovak girls like this tradition but only personal or close

society (for example close family) They don´t like public visitors.

I support some main news on Easter Monday in slovak TV stations (Markiza, JOJ or TA3), because

there will "freshing" girls moderators on report from this tradition somwhere in countryside in Slovakia.
