What is strictly forbidden in the Olive Week, which begins on March 8

Maslenka Week in 2021 will last from March 8 to March 14 inclusive. And for this holiday, so beloved by many, it is worth properly preparing to do without violations during the festivities.

We're in the newsroom. "Site" It is surprising that many young people know almost nothing about Maslenitsa. This is one of the oldest (and most fun) holidays. And it is dedicated to worthy wires of winter and the meeting of spring.



Maslenitsa Week in 2021 Every year Shrovetsa is celebrated on different days. But to determine the beginning of the holiday is easy, because every year it begins exactly a week before the beginning of Lent. And since in 2021, for Orthodox Christians, Lent will begin on March 15, all the previous 7 days (from the 8th to the 14th) are an olive week.



As I said, this holiday is very old. Our ancestors celebrated Maslenitsa in pre-Christian times, when they happily met the onset of heat and the end of cold weather. A lot of attention was paid to fire. People burned fires and stuffed animals, worshiped the sun god.

It was believed that walking was necessary for a whole week. After all, then evil forces will definitely get tired of the noise and leave human homes forever. In addition, noisy fun will help wake up spring so that it drives away the cold and frost.

The holiday is also associated with pancake with a wide variety of fillings. Why did everyone like baked pancakes? Simply because in shape they resemble the sun, which shines brighter and brighter every day of spring.

With the spread of Christianity, the church did not prohibit the holiday so beloved by people, but simply filled it with a new meaning. As a result, Maslenitsa became a kind of preparation for Lent, when meat products can no longer be eaten, but fish and dairy products are still allowed to the table.
