"The Sorbs are descendants of Slavic tribes who lived north of the Carpathian Mountains in Eastern Europe. Around 1,500 years ago, some of these tribes migrated to Lusatia, a historical region sometimes called Sorbia that straddled eastern Germany, western Poland and the northern tip of the Czech Republic. Over time, European empires and nations have come and gone, but the Sorbs have remained – a Slavic-speaking ethnic minority existing inside modern-day Germany." - BBC

The  sorbs believed that Morana ( a pagan Slavic goddess) should definitely be dressed up in clothes left over from a human who had recently passed away. Then the evil goddess will take death with her until the next such ceremony, and this year none of the villagers will die.

Carolina Eyck was born in Germany in 1987. Eyck is considered one of the world's preeminent theremin players. By the time she was 16, she had developed her own eight-finger-playing-position technique and at 17, she published a book, The Art of Playing the Theremin, to teach this technique. Eyck's method has been adopted by theremin players throughout the world. She has performed with leading orchestras such as the BBC Philharmonic and the Berlin Symphony Radio Orchestra. In 2015, Eyck won the Echo Klassik Prize for Concert Recording of the Year.
