Maslenitsa

Shrovetide

Russian people celebrate Maslenitsa at the end of February or at the beginning of March.
It lasts for a week.
We say goodbye to winter.

Pancake Week

The most favourite food of Maslenitsa is pancakes. They symbolize the sun. Round and golden, they are made from flour, butter, eggs and milk.

During "Maslenitsa week“ Russian people always cook pancakes and invite friends.

It is a tradition to cook pancakes and eat them with sour cream, caviar, honey, sugar, butter and jam.

This holiday is usually celebrated outdoors.

People have fires and burn straw scarecrows of winter.
