A Good Excuse for a Special Treat

The Bretzelsonndeg (Pretzel Sunday), celebrated yesterday, is a true Luxembourgish tradition. 

On this day, women are given this famous puff pastry with sugar icing and almonds as a token of love. 

If the feelings are mutual, their loved one will be given an egg at Easter. Otherwise the man will receive an empty basket, meaning that he is dumped. In leap years, the tradition is reversed.
