Happy Śmigus-Dyngus from PKM! 🇵🇱 Watch out for the splash today!🪣💧

Celebrated on Easter Monday, Śmigus-Dyngus (also known as Lany Poniedziałek or Wet Monday) is a centuries-old Polish tradition where people playfully drench each other with water.

Historically, young men would throw water on the women they fancied as a sign of affection, a wish for good health, and to welcome the spring season. What started as a courting ritual has evolved into a fun, lighthearted country-wide water fight where no one is safe from getting soaked!

☃️Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter but we’re not worried- we have our Kontusz to keep us warm☃️




❄️The Kontusz isn’t just a costume—it’s a symbol of honor, tradition, and centuries of Polish pride. From the flowing sleeves to the strength in every step, we carry forward the spirit of those who danced before us.🇵🇱
