Happy Dyngus Day Cleveland

Dyngus Day is a fun Polish Holiday. It is very popular in Poland, and in Polish communities across America. After the long Lenten holiday, Dyngus Day is a day of fun. It is always celebrated on the Monday after Easter. Historians point to the baptism of Polish Prince Mieszko I in 966 A.D as the origins of Dyngus Day. Baptism with water signifies cleansing, fertility, and purification. As such men and women soak each other with water as part of the activities of this holiday.
