Polish celebration of the first day of spring are kinda weird when you think about it
I mean
On one hand, it's Truant's Day! Skip school! People skipped school so much that it's considered an unofficial holiday! You're probably gonna have a school trip or something else planned! Fun day!
And on the other hand
A giant straw doll meant to resemble the Goddess of Winter and Death is made just for the purpose of walking it around the town, burning and later drowning it. This tradition is mostly celebrated by children, especially in kindergartens.
