Brezelsonndeg

Sweet, Sweeter, Brezelsonndeg!

This is your reminder to get a Brezel for that special someone. The Sunday 20 days before Easter is Brezelsonndeg (Pretzel Sunday) in Luxembourg! It is also called Halleffaaschtensonndeg (half lent Sunday) as it is halfway through lent. This year, the days falls on 19th of March.

Traditionally, a boy will buy a sweet pretzel for the girl of their affection. The girl, if she shares the feelings, will get him a chocolate egg on Easter.

Every leap year, the girls will get the pretzel instead.
