Cling to the white birch,
Stretch until the red summer.

At the moment of the end of the cold winter and the awakening of nature from the winter cold, the Slavic peoples had an unusually colorful, rich in rituals and traditions, the most delicious holiday - Maslenitsa. From generation to generation, our ancestors passed on the wonderful traditions of this rollicking folk fun, combining them with the farewell to winter.
In addition to songs, round dances, mummers, skating and stuffed Maslenitsa, pancakes became the main attribute of the holiday. Their round shape symbolized the sun. In addition, pancakes were used in funeral rites, because, during this period, the Russians remembered, or rather, commemorated the spirits of their ancestors.
Picture. The history of the emergence and traditions of carnival.
There is no exact date for the start of Maslenitsa. The festivities start seven weeks before Easter. This usually falls at the end of winter, and sometimes at the beginning of spring. Noisy festivities associated with this noisy and tasty holiday continue throughout the week. It is these seven days that are called butter or cheese week.
Do you know the history of the emergence of such a bright celebration? The history and traditions of the holiday go back to pre-Christian times. Yes, Maslenitsa existed even before the advent of Christianity on our lands, during the time of paganism. It was celebrated on the spring equinox, when the day took the lead from the night and twilight receded.
Any element of the holiday in those distant times had its own meaning, from which traditions later developed. For example, to glorify the bright sun that brings warmth and life to people's homes, and also to demonstrate the irreversibility of the life cycle. As already mentioned, they also played an important role in commemorating the souls of the departed. In Slavic culture, dead ancestors were treated with special reverence and, according to tradition, the first pancake was given to the poor to commemorate their deceased relatives.

Even our ancestors were characterized by the cult of purification by fire. Therefore, the burning of the hateful straw doll Morgana (Zimushka) was the main event at these festivities. The ancient pagans believed that in such a simple way they drive away the winter and bring the onset of heat closer. The discharged and decorated personification of winter was carried through the whole village, and then, with merry games and festivities, they were thrown into the fire, illuminating the earth. Less commonly, it could be immersed in an ice hole or crushed into pieces and scattered over the surface of the earth. For the people who lived at that time, nature was animated. Therefore, Maslenitsa was celebrated to appease the gods of the earth, for a better harvest.
