Around this conception was built up the notion of ritual devil-worship, involving the sabbath or nocturnal meeting at which the witches gathered to worship their master and to copulate with him. (1971, Keith Thomas, Religion and the Decline of Magic, Folio Society 2012, page 419)

 „Na świętą Łucę, noc się ze dniem tłuce” - mówi ludowe przysłowie. Tego dnia siły ciemności i siły światła walczą ze sobą, czarownice wylatują na sabat, a ludzie zmieniają się w wilkołaki. (NKJP: Natalia Skipietrow: 13 grudnia - św. Łucji, Gazeta Wyborcza, 1992-12-12)


"By Saint Łucha, break the night with the day," says a folk proverb. On this day, the forces of darkness and the forces of light fight each other, witches depart for the Sabbath, and people turn into werewolves.
