POLISH CUSTOM
THE PEOPLE IN POLAND, BEFORE SUNRISE ON EASTER DAY, WOULD
SPRINKLE HOLY WATER ON THEIR LAND. IT WAS BELIEVED
THIS WOULD PREVENT THE GROWING OF THORNY WEEDS.
Submitter comment:
MY FATHER'S FAMILY PARTICIPATED IN THIS CUSTOM EVERY
EASTER DAY BEFORE SUN RISE, BUT THE THORNY WEEDS
GREW ON THEIR LAND ANYWAY.
