  2. People celebrate Shrovetide when winter meets with spring. It lasts a week. People usually celebrate Shrovetide a whole week. I want to remindyou ofthe days of this nice old Festival. Every day has its own name:

  3. Monday was a “Meeting Day” ("Встреча"). It began at 12 a. m. While housewives made pan – cakes, children built snow fortresses, made snowmen. There were snow - battles, sledging down the hills, singing, dancing.

  4. Tuesday was “Attracting Maids and Guys day” ("Заигрыши"). Girls organized singing and dancing in a circle. Young men organized fighting games.

  5. Wednesday was a "Dainty Day" ("Лакомка"). The daintiest food on that day were pancakes, a symbol of health, long life and fortune . There were home made pan - cakes and so- called street made pancakes.

  6. Thursday “Broad Shrovetide" ("Широкаямасленица") was the top of the week, the culmination. There were maskers, buffoons, merry - go- rounds, different games.

  7. Fridaywas a "Mother in Law's Parties day” ("Тещинывечерки"). On this day only children were out of doors, sledging and playing snowballs. Grown-ups came out only by the evening to visit the wife's relatives. Mother -in - Law's pancakes were the tastiest.

  8. Saturday was a day of “Daughter- in- Law's Sittings" ("Золовкиныпосиделки’). The day was divided into 2 parts. The first part was for making snow- and- ice fortresses. During the second part they went to see husband's relatives.

  9. Sunday was the day of "Parting , Saying good-bye" ("Проводы,прощанье "). Everyone went to their parents to ask for their pardon - it was Forgiving Sunday (Прощеноевоскресенье). People arranged rich Festivals of parting with winter and meeting with spring.
