In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and some parts of Hungary, the Easter whip is used as part of a tradition in which women are whipped with a decorated willow branch — and/or splashed with water — on Easter Monday. The "tradition" typically takes place on the morning of Easter Monday, and involves a special handmade whip or switch called a pomlázka or karabáč (in Czech); korbáč, šibák, or šibačka (in Slovak); or siba or korbács (in Hungarian).
