Maslenitsa traditions around the world. Traditional Maslenitsa dishes: TOP 10 recipes

How is Maslenitsa celebrated in Europe and Asia?

Maslenitsa is a holiday not only for the Slavs, but also for almost all of Europe. The tradition of celebrating the arrival of spring has been preserved in different cities and countries. In Western European countries, Maslenitsa smoothly turns into a national carnival, during which quarrels and disputes cease, and unbridled fun, laughter and humor reign everywhere.

IN Scotland On Maslenitsa it was customary to bake Lenten flatbreads. A handful was poured into cupped palms oatmeal, then the flour was squeezed tightly in the palms of the hands and immersed in cold water, and the resulting ball was baked in the hearth directly in the hot ashes. The Scots consider baking pancakes an important act in which all family members try to take part.

In schools Denmark These days there are theatrical performances and concerts. Schoolchildren exchange signs of friendship and send humorous letters to their friends through acquaintances without indicating a return address. If a boy receives such a letter from a girl and guesses her name, then for Easter she will give him chocolate.

IN Poland on the last day of Maslenitsa you can go to a tavern where the violinist will sell unmarried girls.

And in Czech Republic young guys with faces smeared with soot walk around the entire village to the music, carrying behind them a decorated wooden block - a clatic. It is hung around each girl's neck or tied to an arm or leg. If you want to pay off, pay.

In many Balkan countries bachelors are invariably placed in a pig trough and dragged along the street. And the figure of a straw grandfather is placed on the roof of the house.

IN Iceland These days were celebrated with rich feasts, then, according to a new tradition, cakes with whipped cream and frosting began to be consumed. Such fun became a custom - children woke up their parents early in the morning with a decorated whip, shouting the name of the cakes. The number of times you shout, the number of cakes you will receive. Then they walked through the streets, sang and begged for cakes in bakeries.

Among the peoples professing Buddhism (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Mongols and Tibetans), a time of fun, official days off, gifts and wishes is held on the 29th lunar day on the eve of the first spring new moon.

The houses are being cleaned, outfits and scarves made of expensive silk and brocade are being prepared, gifts are being prepared, pipes are being cleaned for the elders, holiday treats are being prepared, the men are preparing the horses (they are scratching their manes, updating their harness and saddle).
Then everyone wipes themselves with a piece of dough (from flour and water), makes a symbolic figurine out of it, mentally transferring to it all their illnesses, troubles and failures, then they carry them to the temple, put them in a ritual fire, where after the prayer they set it on fire and ask that everything bad went away with fire. It was believed that this ritual eliminated all troubles, cleansed all bad things, and a person gained prosperity, happiness, peace and tranquility.

Maslenitsa in Britain celebrated less magnificently than in other European countries. During the Middle Ages in the XIV-XVI centuries. Maslenitsa was widespread everywhere and was celebrated with noisy fun, various kinds of competitions and the traditional Maslenitsa dish - pancakes. On this day, various kinds of competitions, wrestling, and fist fights are popular. The most popular men's competition to this day remains football, which used to be not just entertainment, but also an important religious ritual. Even the clergy played it, and inside religious buildings.

In France Winter is seen off with a traditional carnival - Mardi Gras, which begins early in the morning with a magnificent procession, where pancakes are also baked, snacks and soups are prepared.
