First, on Shrove Tuesday already can't eat meat food. Carnivore (between winter, Christmas post from the spring, the Great) comes to an end, and Sunday on the eve of the carnival is the last day allowed to eat meat. That's why this day received the nickname of “Butcher's eve”. On carnival you can have dairy products and fish. However, the main dish on Shrove Tuesday, we know, are the pancakes, which are baked every day from Monday, but many – from Thursday to Sunday. This time is called Maslenitsa.
The second rule, which should not be forgotten, is that the food on carnival is the most important form of life. This is why people said that at this time you should eat as many times as the dog wag the tail or how many times croaked the crow. Unlike many other celebrations on Shrove Tuesday, not only eat at home, in the family, but also often go to visit and invite yourself. “Residence” becomes rough character.
A lot of funny funny jokes, rhymes, songs, Preslav and sayings connected with these days: “No pancake is NOT a pancake week”, “On the mountains to ride, in pancakes to lie”, “Not life, but carnival”, “Even with all the lay, and to spend Shrove Tuesday”, “is Not necessary, and will be a Great Post”.

But did you know that previously it was decided to dress the Scarecrow in the men's Kaftan Yes bast, and certainly in the hands to give the dishes on which baked pancakes. It was decided to breed everywhere bonfires and throw into the fire the old genre, unnecessary utensils. In the center was set high on the pole with a wheel on top, symbolizing the bright glowing sun.
Carnival is a family event. Spring is associated with the beginning of a new life, procreation. So before particularly honored and congratulated the young people who got married last year. They rode on a sleigh in the entire village, but poor and scanty food would drop her in the snow. People of the Catholic faith, as well as in some Ukrainian villages it is the custom to punish any people who are not married. It is believed that they go against the law of God. Carnival bachelors feet privatively special shoes and had to wear that tag all day.
On the last day of carnival – Shrove Sunday – it is customary to ask forgiveness from all relatives and friends that usually respond, “God forgive me!
