The central place in the celebration of the holiday is occupied by women and their typical activity – spinning, of which Saint Lucy was the patroness, who also represented special beings associated with this day: lucky. The young girls dressed in long white robes were called lukas, who were led by a girl who represented the saint herself. Figures such as a priest, a pilgrim, a butcher, a chimney sweep or bridesmaids also appeared in the procession. The luzek march is sometimes accompanied by whispers of “I’m going, I’m going, I’ll drink the night away”.
