Beautiful! It is a sweet little village. Thank you for sharing! Do you carry home any local folk tales/books?!
Yes, definitely. This village is the “poster child” for the Hungarian tradition of “sprinkling.” It’s a patriarchal tradition that centres around women being courted by men. The male suiters indicating who they are interested in by dumping water buckets on the women…nowadays the tradition has shifted to gentle water spraying with perfume, but the roots of it are here… https://youtu.be/zTBbvYfOh4Y
