The holiday dates back to paganism and its traditions and ceremonies in pre-Christian Rus. Maslenitsa is a goodbye to a severe Russian winter and welcoming of spring. This Orthodox festivity is celebrated in the last week of February. Maslenitsa is also known as “Butter week” or “Pancake week”. People have a good time with family, friends, neighbours and strangers eating local pancakes – “blinis” with various fillings, dancing in a round, participating in fist-fighting and other fun competitions, playing games and drinking hot tea together. The event could include masquerades and snowball fights.

Масленица

Maslenitsa is preceding the Lent. This is a long period of time (about 2 months until the Easter) when we control all food we eat and thoughts we have. The holiday is celebrated during 7 days. Every day of Maslenitsa is devoted to different things. For example, sons-in-law visit their mothers-in-law to taste their blinis on Wednesday. In the end of the week- on Sunday-people make a big bonfire to burn a hand-made straw effigy symbolized a winter. The day is named as Shrove Sunday, when everybody could ask for forgiveness from all people who were offended someday.

Объяснение:

Этот праздник уходит своими корнями в язычество и его традиции и ритуалы, которые были на Руси до принятия Христианства. Масленица – прощание с суровой русской зимой и приветствие весны. Этот традиционный праздник отмечается в последнюю неделю февраля.

Масленица также известна как «масленичная» или «блинная» неделя. Люди хорошо проводят время со своими семьями, друзьями, соседями, незнакомцами угощаясь местным блюдом – блинами с разнообразными начинками, водя хороводы, участвуя в кулачных боях и прочих соревнованиях, играя в игры и попивая горячий чай вместе. Частью праздника могут быть маскарады и бои снежками.

Масленица предшествует посту. Постом называется длительный период времени (около 2 месяцев до наступления Пасхи), в течение которого мы следим за тем, что едим и о чем думаем.

Гуляния продолжаются в течение 7 дней. Каждый день Масленицы посвящен разным вещам. Например, в среду зятья ходят к тещам на блины. В конце недели, в воскресенье, люди разводят большой костер для того чтобы сжечь в нем соломенное чучело, символизирующее зиму. Этот день называется Прощеным Воскресеньем – день, когда каждый может попросить прощения у того, кого когда-то обидел
