Siwki (Easter tradition)
Siwki or Siwek (literally Easter Greys, as in grey horses) is a regional tradition rooted in Polish folklore, in which a procession of dressed up individuals stops passers-by and performs tricks on them. The event usually takes place on Easter Sunday or Easter Monday.
The map of Polish Easter processions devised by Andrzej Brencz demonstrates that similar processions take place in areas where villages are close to each other. The area where the Easter Greys tradition is observed stretches between Międzychód, Wolsztyn and Poznań in Poland's region of Greater Poland. The Greys are an example of immaterial cultural heritage of the region.
The origins of the custom and the name
As in many such cases, the origins of the custom are not clear: the name suggests parades of grey horses. Siwek in Polish means a grey horse or mare. The procession is named after the Grey Horse – the main character in the procession. In the past, the procession was lead by a rider on a grey horse (or a man leading two grey horses).
