FIRST DAY OF SPRING in Poland

21 March traditionally celebrate the first day of spring, and some of us also Truant Day. Once, in pagan times, it was one of the most important holidays of the year. They referred to the ouster of the symbolic winter and welcome spring and adoption and the associated magical rites. Known pre-Christian Slavic folk culture.
Among the most popular of these rites was melting Marzanna and painting eggs - designed to make the homes energy and joy of life and to ensure good harvest and prosperity for the whole new beginning in the spring of the year growing season. Madder was identified with the Slavic goddess symbol of winter and death; by some researchers Slavic cultures is considered a demon. Its name is derived from the Proto-Indo-meaning death.

Dzień Wagarowicza (Truant Day), an international day of opposition to the school. Almost always associated with escape from school and arranging joint truancy. On this day, nature comes to life and the students 'wake' up from hibernation. Sometimes, to avoid the escape of students, teachers organize them on that day attractions eg. Go to the cinema. My class, the teachers took to the cinema ;-). We watched movie 'London wass fallen'.

TRUANT DAY - this year fortunately on Monday
