Hi, I find it amazing that there are americans still interested in their Slovak heritage :) About the Easter Monday tradition, I think you have it a bit mixed up. Its not the ladies pouring water and spraying perfume on the boys. Its the boys doing all three things to the ladies. First pour water on them, then whip the with "Korbac" and then spray perfume. The whipping is very very gentle, more like pretending doing it, than actual whipping. And each thing represents wishing a good health, fortune, and beauty to the ladies. Each thing represents something else, which im not gonna write into detail here, but if you want more details, let me know and I can tell you anything you want to know about SLovak tratidions :) In return the ladies thank them for this good fortune and offer them food and drink, and some painted eggs (this is more old tradition still present on some villages in Slovakia) . However, now in the more modern present and mostly in towns and cities, the boys usually get chocolate easter eggs, sweets, and a bit of money as well, but you are not interested in that :) Either way, its very fun day, for boys on Slovakia, I remember when I was the boy, this day I was looking forward the most out of all year :)
