Russians enjoy their holidays and celebrate (праздновать) them with a lot of food, presents and in big companies of relatives and friends. There are three types of holidays in Russia: family holidays, state or public holidays and religious. Holidays are very important, they unite (объединять) people within one family, one religion and one nation. People get together (собираться) and spend time together keeping traditions and pass them to the younger generation.
Family holidays include birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and other family celebrations. Different families have different traditions of celebrations. State or public holidays in Russia include Constitution Day, New Year's Day, the International Women's Day, May Day, Victory Day and Independence Day. State organisations, banks and companies do not work on these days. People spend holiday time with their families and friends; they go to theatres or exhibitions, or go to city center where there are usually folk festivals and concerts in the open air and celebrate with other people. Russian religious holidays include Christmas, Easter and some others. There is also a pagan holiday - Shrovetide or Pancake Day.
As for birthdays people celebrate them in different ways. Someone prefers staying at home and invites relatives and friends. People lay the table, cook tasty dishes, organize a festive diner and have fun. But there are also the others who enjoy celebrating their birthday parties at the restaurants. A festive table and sometimes even an entertainment program are organized for guests in that case.
New Year's Day is the major family holiday for many Russians. It is a national holiday in Russia, on which most businesses and public offices are closed. New Year's dinner usually starts late on December 31st and includes Russian salad, dressed herring, sparkling wine and other national food. Five minutes before the clock strikes midnight people watch the president's speech on TV. After that the Russians congratulate (поздравлять) each other and exchange presents. Some people go outside to play snowballs, make a snowman or light fireworks. Some Russians celebrate this day at their friends' houses or attend the fireworks displays in their city. Celebrations for children include a decorated fir tree and Grandfather Frost, the Russian equivalent of Santa Clause who is believed to bring presents. Grandfather 'Frost often comes with his granddaughter, Snegurochka (Snow Girl).
Victory Day celebrated on May 9th is a very important historic holiday. On that day we celebrate the end of one of the bloodiest wars in Russia's history. Public offices, schools and most businesses are closed for the celebrations. There may be changes in public transport routes due to military parades and street performances. A lot of people go a local military (военный) parade and watch the fireworks display at night on this day. The biggest parade is in Moscow Red Square. Veterans wear their medals. Another tradition is to put flowers at war memorials. Schools usually have concerts and performances, sing wartime songs and read poetry. At home, families gather around a festive (праздничный) table to honor surviving heroes of the World War II and remember those who passed away.
Orthodox Christmas is both a national and religious holiday in Russia so banks and public offices are closed on January 7th. The Russians celebrate it by having a family dinner, going to the church, visiting relatives and friends. For many Russians, Christmas Day is a family holiday but it is not as important for many families as New Year's Day. Many people visit friends and relatives, as well as give and receive presents. As for Easter (Пасха) people decorate eggs, go to the church and spend time with their families.
Maslenitsa, also known as Pancake Week or Shrovetide, is a Russian pagan (языческий) holiday celebrated during the last week before Great Lent (the seventh week before Easter). Maslenitsa is an ancient Slavonic (славянский) holiday, dating back to the pagan culture. This is a festival, celebrating the approach of spring, warmth and renovation of nature. During this week Russians eat pancakes, have celebrations. Every day of the Pancake Week has its own name and traditions. For example, Sunday is called the Forgiveness Day when everybody should ask for forgiveness. Young married couples usually visit their relatives, give presents to parents and friends, pay visits to their godparents. Sunday evening is the time when Maslenitsa straw doll (чучело) is burnt.
