In the Hungarian village of Hollókő, locals continue a centuries-old Easter tradition in which men pour buckets of water over women during the holiday.
The ritual, believed to have roots in purification and spring renewal, was historically linked to marriage customs and baptism traditions.
Footage shows men in traditional dress chasing and dousing women, who take part in the celebration despite getting soaked.
Locals say the event is not only for tourists but an important part of their cultural identity. Each year, thousands of visitors travel to the UNESCO-listed village to witness the unique custom.
