Traditions of Maslenitsa

Maslenitsa has several names: it is called meat-empty because there is abstinence from meat, cheese - because of the abundance of cheese this week, and directly, Maslenitsa - because of the consumption of large amounts of butter.

The traditions of the celebration go deep into our history. But just as before, this holiday is usually celebrated on a grand scale, with songs, dances, and competitions. The most common pastimes that took place in the villages were fist fights, sleigh rides, eating pancakes for a while, climbing a pole for a prize, swimming in ice holes, playing with a bear, and finally, burning an effigy. The main treat is pancakes with various fillings. You need to cook them every day, and in large quantities.

The people argued that those people who do not have fun on Maslenitsa will live in poverty for a year and there will be no fun in their home.

1. You should never eat meat on Maslenitsa. Dairy products and fish are allowed. The main dish that every housewife should have on the table is pancakes.
2. On Maslenitsa you need to eat a lot, often and wherever possible. Gluttony is the main principle of this holiday. That is why it is customary to eat not only at home, but also at a party, where people are often invited this week.

Maslenitsa is celebrated from Monday to Sunday, and every day of this week is usually celebrated in a special way, observing the traditions of the holiday.

Monday (February 20) called “Meeting of Maslenitsa”. On this day, housewives began baking pancakes, and the first pancake was necessarily given to needy, poor people. Even on Monday, they prepared a scarecrow of Maslenitsa, which was exhibited on the main street. And it, dressed in rags, was supposed to stand until the resurrection.

Tuesday (February 21) popularly called "Zaigrysh". This day was completely dedicated to the newlyweds. On this day, folk festivities were held: sledding, carousel rides and ice slides.

Wednesday (February 22)- “Gourmand.” On this day, it was customary to invite guests (neighbors, friends, relatives) to the house and treat them to delicious pancakes, pies, and honey gingerbread. Also on Wednesday, mothers-in-law treated their sons-in-law to pancakes, hence the expression “The son-in-law has come, where can I get sour cream?” Fist fights and horse racing were popular on this day.

Thursday (February 23) People called it "Razgulay". It was from this day that Wide Maslenitsa began, which was accompanied by sledding, snowball fights, funny songs and round dances.

Friday (February 24). This day was designated as “Mother-in-law’s Evening,” because it was on Friday that the sons-in-law invited their mother-in-law to their house and treated them to pancakes. At the same time, the day before, their daughter’s husband should come to his mother-in-law’s house and invite her to visit.

Saturday (February 25) It’s popularly called “Sister-in-law’s get-togethers.” Young daughters-in-law invited their husband's sisters to their place, had conversations with them, treated them to various delicacies and gave gifts. If the sister-in-law had not yet gotten married, then the daughter-in-law invited her unmarried friends, and if the husband’s sister was married, then only married relatives were invited.

Sunday (February 26) is the apotheosis of Maslenitsa and is called “Forgiveness Sunday.” It was on this day that they celebrated Maslenitsa, said goodbye to winter and symbolically burned an effigy. Even on Sunday, it is customary to ask family and friends for forgiveness for the grievances that have accumulated throughout the year.

There are many signs associated with Maslenitsa, and people in the old days believed in these signs. It is believed that on Maslenitsa you need to bake as many pancakes as you want happiness and prosperity. Mountains of pancakes foreshadowed good luck, health, and prosperity in the families of relatives and friends. If the table is empty, then a financial collapse can be expected for the year. It’s not for nothing that Maslenitsa was also called “The Destroyer,” because a lot of money was spent in a week.

It was a bad omen if the pancakes were unsuccessful, burnt or tasteless. This meant that trouble, illness or trouble would come very soon.

Our ancestors also believed that cold weather on Maslenitsa predicted a good harvest year. Girls who intended to get married this year had to get all the men they met along the way drunk.

Interesting ancient traditions of Maslenitsa:

• Young people should show special respect to elders in the family;
• Newlyweds can kiss in public, showing their love;
• It is imperative to remember deceased relatives. The best thing -
  go to the cemetery and bring pancakes there;
• Be sure to treat the beggars near the church to the most delicious pancakes with rich fillings;

What to do for children

In the folk traditions of celebrating Maslenitsa, children did not bake pancakes, but they had their own special activities. You can sculpt whistles from clay or make whistles from wood, painting them with bright colors. These musical instruments produce a sound similar to trills. It was believed that this way one could summon spring faster by deceiving it that the birds were already singing.

As for places of public celebrations, it is necessary to hold fairs, organize booths, and ride sleighs on ice slides. In the old days, fist fights were still held on Sunday, but in modern society this custom has been forgotten. By the way, some dived into the ice hole to repeat their Epiphany feat.

The symbol of Maslenitsa is pancakes

It is believed that modern pancakes are the “ancestors” of oatmeal jelly, which someone decided to bake over a fire. A little later, people began to bake pancakes not only from oatmeal, but also from rye, wheat, and buckwheat. Traditional cuisine knows many recipes for pancakes with various fillings.

Housewives prepared pancakes with fish, mushrooms, eggs, honey, buckwheat, onion sauce, and cottage cheese. The pancakes were served with sour cream, red or black caviar and butter. It is noteworthy that the pancakes had to be eaten only with their hands. It was believed that if they were pierced with a fork or cut with a knife, then trouble would not be long in coming.

Pancake as a symbol of satiety

If we consider pre-Christian traditions, then pancakes were a symbol of sacrificial bread, offered as a gift to the gods. Only since the 19th century have pancakes become a treat for Maslenitsa with the symbolic meaning with which we accept them now. It is believed that the predecessor of the pancake was ordinary oatmeal jelly. Someone decided to heat it on the fire and the first pancake will turn out. Then they began to bake pancakes from different types of flour, including buckwheat or rice flour.

The most important thing is that an ordinary pancake can be completely transformed in taste depending on the filling that is added to it. Pancakes with fish and caviar are an excellent main appetizer. Pancakes with vegetables and mushrooms are a cold appetizer, and, of course, sweet pancakes with honey, jam or just butter. Each recipe is special and has its own culinary symphony.
