Sometimes, instead of a scarecrow of Maslenitsa, they carried an elegant girl or a brightly painted old woman in a sleigh, and at the end of the holiday, they took the sleigh out of town and dumped the “passenger” into a snowdrift to everyone’s laughter, thereby, as it were, “burying Maslenitsa.”

- Oh yes, Maslenitsa is moving into the yard, The wide one is moving into the yard! Oh yes Maslenitsa, stay for a week, Wide, visit another!

The Slavs have always widely celebrated Maslenitsa. Is Maslenitsa celebrated in other countries?
In Catholic countries, such a holiday is celebrated, but has other names: Pancake Day ( England ) , Fat Tuesday ( USA ) , Mardi Gras ( France ) Beltane ( Ireland, Scotland ) .
Maslenitsa is for us like carnival for Italians. Moreover, translated from Italian, “carnival” means “Beef, goodbye!” And Maslenitsa, which precedes Lent, has long been called “Meat Empty”, since it was forbidden to eat meat during this week.
Russian Maslenitsa is essentially an analogue of Halloween, because the purpose of both holidays is to “appease” the spirits on whole year forward.

Maslenitsa – ancient Slavic holiday, which came to us from pagan culture and survived after the adoption of Christianity. The Church included Maslenitsa among its holidays, calling it Cheese or Meat Week, since Maslenitsa falls on the week preceding Lent. In 2016, Maslenitsa begins on March 7th. According to one version, the name “Maslenitsa” arose because this week, according to Orthodox custom, meat was already excluded from food, and dairy products could still be consumed.
Maslenitsa is the most fun and satisfying folk holiday, lasting a whole week. The people always loved him and affectionately called him “killer whale”, “sugar mouth”, “kisser”, “honest Maslenitsa”, “cheerful”, “quail”, “perebukha”, “overeating”, “yasochka”.
An integral part of the holiday was horse riding, on which they put on the best harness. Guys who were getting married bought sleds especially for this ride. All the young couples certainly took part in the skating. Just as widespread as festive horse riding was youth riding from the icy mountains. Among the customs of rural youth on Maslenitsa were also jumping over a fire and taking a snowy town.
Maslenitsa has retained the character of a folk festival for many centuries. All Maslenitsa traditions are aimed at driving away winter and waking up nature from sleep. Maslenitsa was celebrated with majestic songs on the snow slides. The symbol of Maslenitsa was a straw effigy dressed in women's clothing, with whom they had fun together, and then buried or burned at the stake along with a pancake, which the effigy held in its hand.
Pancakes are the main treat and symbol of Maslenitsa. They are baked every day from Monday, but especially many from Thursday to Sunday. The tradition of baking pancakes has been in Rus' since the times of worship of pagan gods. After all, it was the sun god Yarilo who was called upon to drive away winter, and the round, ruddy pancake is very similar to the summer sun. Each housewife traditionally had her own special recipe for making pancakes, which was passed down from generation to generation through the female line. Pancakes were baked mainly from wheat, buckwheat, oatmeal, and corn flour, adding millet or semolina porridge, potatoes, pumpkin, apples, and cream. In Rus' there was a ritual: the first pancake was always for the repose; it was, as a rule, given to a beggar to remember all the deceased or placed on the window. Pancakes were eaten with sour cream, eggs, caviar and other tasty seasonings from morning to evening, alternating with other dishes.
The whole week of Maslenitsa was called nothing more than “honest, wide, cheerful, noblewoman Maslenitsa, lady Maslenitsa.” Until now, each day of the week has its own name, which indicates what needs to be done on that day. On the Sunday before Maslenitsa, traditionally, they paid visits to relatives, friends, neighbors, and also invited guests. Since it was forbidden to eat meat during Maslenitsa week, the last Sunday before Maslenitsa was called “meat Sunday,” on which the father-in-law went to call his son-in-law to “finish the meat.”
DAY 1 Monday - “meeting” of the holiday. On this day, ice slides were set up and rolled out. In the morning, the children made a straw effigy of Maslenitsa, dressed it up and carried it through the streets together. There were swings and tables with sweets. The beginning of Narrow Maslenitsa.
DAY 2 Tuesday - “flirt”. Fun games begin on this day. In the morning, the girls and young men rode on the icy mountains and ate pancakes. The guys were looking for brides, and the girls were looking for grooms.
DAY 3 Wednesday "gourmet". In first place among the treats, of course, are pancakes.
DAY 4 Thursday "go wild". On this day, to help the sun drive away winter, people traditionally organize horseback riding “in the direction of the sun,” that is, clockwise around the village. The main thing for the male half on Thursday is defense or taking the snowy town. The beginning of Broad Maslenitsa.
DAY 5 Friday is “mother-in-law’s evening,” when the son-in-law goes “to his mother-in-law for pancakes.”
DAY 6 Saturday “sister-in-law’s get-togethers”. On this day they go to visit all their relatives and treat themselves to pancakes.
DAY 7 Sunday is the final “forgiveness day,” when they ask forgiveness from relatives and friends for offenses and after that, as a rule, they sing and dance merrily, thereby seeing off the wide Maslenitsa. On this day, a straw effigy is burned on a huge bonfire, personifying the passing winter. They place him in the center of the fire pit and say goodbye to him with jokes, songs, and dances. They scold winter for the frosts and winter hunger and thank them for the fun winter activities. After this, the effigy is set on fire amid cheerful cheers and songs. When winter burns down, the holiday ends with the final fun: young people jump over the fire. This competition in dexterity ends the Maslenitsa holiday.
Farewell to Maslenitsa ended on the first day of Lent, Clean Monday, which was considered a day of cleansing from sin and savory food. On Clean Monday they always washed in the bathhouse, and women washed the dishes and “steamed” dairy utensils, cleaning them from fat and remnants of the milk.
