ответ:

a holiday in russia can be called maslenitsa. this holiday is considered an echo of pre-christian times, when the slavs were still pagans.

in olden times maslenitsa was considered a holiday of commemoration of the dead. so the burning of the shrovetide is her funeral, and pancakes - are memorial treats. but time passed, and the russian people, greedy for fun and rest, turned the sad holiday into a raging carnival. but there was a tradition to bake pancakes-round, yellow and hot as the sun, and to it were added riding on horse sledges and sleighs from the icy mountains, fisticuffs, mother-in-law gatherings. the rituals of maslenitsa are very unusual and interesting, as they combine the completion of the winter holiday rituals and the opening of a new spring period of holidays and rituals, which were to contribute to obtaining a rich harvest.

maslenitsa is celebrated the whole week before lent. and every day of pancake week was dedicated to special rituals.
