Maslenitsa
Russian folk holiday
What holiday is it?
When will we celebrate Maslenitsa this year?
Monday is the “meeting” of the holiday. On this day, ice slides were set up and rolled out. In the morning, the children made a straw effigy of Maslenitsa, dressed it up and carried it through the streets together. There were swings and tables with sweets.
Wednesday is a “gourmet”. In first place among the treats, of course, are pancakes - made from different flours and with different fillings.
Thursday - "go wild". On this day, to help the sun drive away winter, people traditionally organize horse riding, storm a snow fortress, and have fun at fairs.
Saturday - "sister-in-law's get-togethers." On this day they go to visit all their relatives and treat themselves to pancakes.
Sunday is the final “forgiveness day,” when they ask forgiveness from relatives and friends for offenses and after that, as a rule, they sing and dance merrily, thereby seeing off the great Maslenitsa. On this day, Maslenitsa is burned on a huge bonfire - an effigy personifying the passing winter.
What does the celebration of Maslenitsa symbolize?
- Maslenitsa week is called carnival. Each day of Maslenitsa week has its own name: Monday – meeting; Tuesday - flirting; Wednesday is a gourmet; Thursday - revelry, turning point, wide Thursday; Friday - mother-in-law evenings; Saturday – sister-in-law’s gatherings; Sunday is a day of forgiveness, farewell, farewell, kissing.
