Spring is the time when nature comes to life. Winter awakens animals, the earth gives new crops, in a word everything wakes up again. Spring is a symbol of new life, so you must leave winter bad. In Poland, the most popular rite associated with the summoning of spring is the burning or melting of a straw effigy called Marzanna. This custom is to ensure fertility in the coming months. The beginning of spring all over the world takes many forms and is full of symbolism. Not only do we celebrate the arrival of spring in this way - similar traditions can also be found in other countries.
