Drown the Witch
I grew up in Poland, where every early spring we did this . Basically, we (my classmates and I) made a giant doll out of straw and rags called 'Marzanna'. We'd dress her up, march her to a nearby river and drown the poor thing amidst songs and chants. It was, as we were told, the only way to usher out winter and bring on a full fledged spring.
The country's 98% Catholic, but there we were, every springtime, wielding a giant voodoo doll and chanting curses at her. Ah, my "Wicker Man" childhood.
