The tradition of 'smolarze' (charcoal/tar burners) lasted in some parts of Poland, especially in Greater Poland, until the 1960s - 1970s. On the second day of the Green Week (an ancient Slavic fertility festival) the boy who was taking cattle out to pasture for the first time, was smeared with tar and hit with twigs. The shepherds drove him on a cart around the village and shouted: 'We're carrying the tar burner!' They visited local farmers and collected eggs, pork fat and other products from them. Then the boy washed himself in a river or lake and the party ended in the local inn. This custom was later reduced to boys smearing girls with tar.
