What: Wholesome Luxembourgish tradition
Where: Across the country
When: 15 March – more info here
Tiny country, big traditions! Bretzelsonndeg (Pretzel Sunday) takes place once a year on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which falls on 15 March this year. Whereas the pretzel used to be a salty treat (and still is in our neighbouring countries), the modern Luxembourgish version is usually tooth-achingly sweet, complete with fondant icing and almonds. The traditional version of the custom dictates that a man should offer a pretzel to the woman he’s interested in. If she finds him nearly as sweet as the pretzel, she will let him know by giving him an egg on Easter Day. We’ll let you interpret the symbolism.
