“Maslenita”- old slav holiday, coming to us from pagan culture. It`s a symbolic farewell of the winter and at the same time the welcoming of spring, bringing nature revival and most expected sunlights.
For centuries people have interpreted spring as the beginning of a new life, worshiping the sun which gives life and powerful for everything alive. Pancakes are cooked in the honor of the sun: round, ruddy, hot. Slavs believed that eating pancakes, which are similar to the sun, they eat a piece from its warmth and power. During the “Maslenita” week is recommended to eat more pancakes, to laugh as loud as you can and to have a lot of fun.
It`s believed that the person who will spend Maslenita week in a boring way will be unlucky during all period of the year.
