The first day of spring in Poland

It is an ancient pagan tradition in Poland (it has also survived in the Czech Republic and Slovakia). It requires the drowning of the “witch” called Marzanna. Marzanna  is a puppet made especially for the occasion from differents bits and rags of clothing. It is a tradition for people to make dolls that are meant to resemble winter, and then take them out into water or burn them on this day, as if to say good-bye to winter.

The first day of spring in Poland is actually an occasion popular among children. It is celebrated on March 21 and it is a day when children traditionally play truant.  In Poland it is sometimes called a day of being truant. Children don’t have lessons but games and competitions. 

 Polish students were very good for their  Marzanna. They decided to save her and not to throw into a river. Accually this tradition is changing nowadays in Poland. Mostly because we don't want to pollute our rivers.
The students brought Marzanna back to the sanatorium, placed in a day room and decided to wait together for the spring. 
Unfortunatelly the spring isn't coming, it is still snowing and it's very cold. Maybe because we tried to change the tradition?
