 Foreign Language Centre invites you to the Orthodox carnival Maslenitsa as a part of the National Days project. Orthodox remnants are celebrated in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. They fall 8 weeks before orthodox Easter and last 7 days. The tradition is, during this week it is necessary to say goodbye to winter, eat delicious pancakes, have fun and dance. Concerts, festivities, sleigh rides, snowball fights are organized. Maslenica precedes Lent and during it you can no longer eat meat, but you must and must eat pancakes. The tradition of preparing pancakes is associated with their symbolism - the similarity of round pies and the hot sun. Therefore, pancakes are eaten in huge quantities throughout the week, and served almost with everything - caviar, fish, cream, cottage cheese, mushrooms, poppy seeds, preserves or honey.
Maslenica is a time of joy and reconciliation. On the last day, the Maslenica puppet is burnt and its ashes are scattered in the fields.
