Maslenitsa I would like to tell you about a great Maslenitsa celebration in Russia. It is celebrated on last Sunday of March, when winter is losing its rights and spring comes. On this day there are Russian great folk festivals with horses, getting a living rooster from the post, a lot of jokes, songs and dances. On the streets of cities, towns and villages different mummers walk, they offer everybody hot tea and Russian pancakes with different toppings: honey, jam, butter, eggs! But most importantly is the effigy of winter that is burnt and everyone rejoices the beautiful spring coming.
