Holidays - Harvest Festivals

Polish Culture Information

Dozynki - Slavic Harvest Festival star [offsite link]
Polish Harvest Festival is called DOZYNKI - and derives from Slavic tradition. The Wikipedia article informs about Harvest Festival in general.

Slavic goddess and Spring star
Marzanna is a Slavic goddess that would be indentified with death and Winter. Slavs, missing Spring sun and being desperate for good harvest season, would drown the effigy of the goddess to arrange proper welcome for Spring. This custom is still celebrated in schools and kindergartens in Poland.
