Easter is celebrated twice in our region, because historically Transcarpathia was part of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and now Ukraine, , therefore, we have many mixed families on a religious basis, for example: a husband is a Catholic, and wife's parents are Orthodox. But we have the same tradition of Easter Monday as the Czech Republic regardless Catholic or Orthodox Easter: men and boys visit women and girls, drench them with cold water (or parfume ;-) ) to make sure that women will be fresh and healthy until the next Easter.
But there is another tradition. When we visit relatives on Easter, we exchange Easter eggs
saying: "Christ is risen" and answering: "Verily, it is risen!"
