The tradition of destroying of Marzanna - a doll made out of hay - goes back to pagan times and devoted to Mother Earth spring holiday of St Jary. Marzanna was led out of a village in a parade accompanied by loud ruckus of rattles, cracking whips, singing and playing a variety of instruments. That was meant to scare away evil. Marzanna was thrown in a river and set on fire. This tradition was supposed to not only scare away winter and invite spring but also to secure a good harvest in the coming season.
