The tradition of burning or drowning an effigy of Marzanna to celebrate the end of winter is a folk custom that survives in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. Typically taking place on the day of the vernal equinox (20–21 March), the rite involves setting fire to a female straw effigy, drowning it in a river, or both.
