The author restricts herself to the selected and most significant spring rites which are still practised in some regions of Poland (traditional drowning/burning of a straw dummy, parading with a small decorated tree, having a wash in river, functions of the palm and egg etc.). She describes the process of transformation in traditional spring rites in Poland on the basis of selected example, which is still alive in the south – eastern Poland as well as in Cieszyn Silesia and Opole Silesia.
