The former Slavs believed that the ghosts of the ancestors live in Kalina bushes. It was recognized by them as a magic plant and reminded the maidens that it was time to maintain the continuity of the family – that is, to get married. Her inflorescences were once decorated with wedding wreaths, Kołacze and the Bride’s House, because it is a symbol of female purity. However, Kalina is also a flower that could often be found at the graves of young girls who have left this world as a virgin.
