Bretzelsonndeg, or pretzel Sunday, is a national feast day in the country of Luxembourg, celebrated by eating (often sweet) pretzels on the third Sunday in Lent, and allegedly dating back to the 18th century. The traditional story holds that men offer their (female) sweethearts a pretzel, and if the woman is inclined to accept his offer of love, she will give him an egg on Easter Sunday. In leap years, apparently, the roles are reversed.

- Le Bretzelsonndeg est un jour de fête nationale au Luxembourg, célébré en mangeant des bretzels pendant le troisième dimanche de Carême, qui remonterait au 18e siècle. La tradition veut que les hommes offrent à leurs épouses un bretzel, et que si la femme est encline à accepter son offre d'amour, elle lui donnera un œuf le dimanche de Pâques. Autrement, l'homme recevra un « panier » (appelé en luxembourgeois de Kuerf kréien), synonyme de rupture. Les années bissextiles, apparemment, les rôles sont inversés. (fr)
