Shrovetide. A Russian Celebration.
Last Sunday all people celebrated Shrovetide (a Pancake Week). In Russian Shrovetide is called Maslyenitsa. It is one of the most ancient festivals of Slavonic people.

People in Starozhilovo celebrated this festival too. They wore different costumes. Some people were on the stage and showed other people a funny performance. They sang Russian songs, organized different competitions like - who can lift a weight up. People also could dance, ride a horse. And of course all people ate a lot of tasty pancakes that were round and golden like the sun. At the end of the celebration, people burnt a straw dummy of the Shrovetide Maid.

People in Starozhilovo enjoyed that festival and had a lot of fun!

I like this holiday, because it reminds us about our history and traditions. My favorite place for its celebration is school №5. The administration of the school makes a wonderful holiday for its pupils and other people. The tickets are free, all competitions are funny and even small children can take part in it. Dear netters, where have you celebrated this holiday this year?
