How we celebrate the First Day of Spring in Poland (B1) | Pierwszy Dzień Wiosny w Polsce

Описание: Today on March 21st, the first day of spring, we're exploring Polish spring traditions.

From ancient Slavs to modern times, spring's arrival is celebrated with rituals like drowning marzanna (topiene marzanny), symbolizing the end of winter. Our ancestors held shocking superstitions about marzanna. Watch the video to find out!

Modern celebrations vary. In many regions everyone drown marzanna, while in others it's a tradition for kindergarten and school children. Older students may celebrate "Dzień Wagarowicza" ("Truancy Day") and take a day off school.
