Morena / Marzanna tradition, 2013, Myjava
Morena je staroslovanská bohyňa zimy a smrti, veľmi známa i v dnešnom folklóre. Je zosobnená zimou, na jar končí jej vláda. Tradičným rituálom je vynášanie Moreny a jej upálenie alebo utopenie. Najčastejšie sa hádže z mosta alebo zo skaly. Je veľmi zaujímavé, že napriek tisícročnému potláčaniu pohanských rituálov sa dodnes zachoval jeden z nich vo veľmi živom zvyku vynášania Moreny. Vynášanie Moreny malo zabezpečiť definitívny odchod zimy a vítanie jari, vypudenie negatívnych síl z chotára, vrátiť požehnanosť vegetácie, fyzickú silu zeme, dosiahnuť znovuoživenie prírody.
Morena (Marmuriena, Marzhana) is the Old Slavic goddess of winter and death, but it is still well known in today's folklore. She personifies the harsh winter season, and in spring her reign ends. The traditional ritual is that (initially only young girls) carry Morena out of the village and burn or drown her (or both). It is most often thrown from a bridge or a rock. It is very interesting that despite hundreds of years of suppression of pagan rituals, one of them has survived to this day in the very lively custom - the carrying out the Morena. The ritual was to ensure the final departure of winter and the welcoming of spring, the expulsion of negative forces from the society, the return of the bliss of vegetation, the physical strength of the earth, and the rebirth of the nature.
