Easter TraditionsI was woken early on Easter Monday morning by the screams of my wife. Looking up I saw my father-in-law, dressed in his best suit, with a half-empty cup of water and a wide grin on his face. Behind him my mother-in-law, who looked like she had just taken a shower with her clothes on, was also grinning. Looking now at my wife, I realized that she had received nothing more than a customary sprinkle of water, but to hear her you would have thought that her father had drenched her with all the waters of the Danube. I got dressed and had a hearty breakfast, before setting out with Ria's father at 8am, in search of other female members of the family to freshen, and to collect our schnapps and chocolate eggs. Meanwhile, Ria and her mum stayed indoors, awaiting the various uncles and cousins, who would be calling on them during the day. Ria has a big family and by midday we must have visited about seven households in all. This meant that a lot of schnapps had been consumed, as well as countless cakes, sweets and savory nick-nacks that were placed out before us when we called. continued >> |
