In late February and early March, Russia celebrates Shrovetide, the most ancient festival. People believed that the change of seasons was the struggle between Jarilo, the god of sun, and the evil spirit. They believed that they had to help Yarilo. So, for the whole week, Russian villagers had fun and games. They built a straw puppet of the Shrovetide Maid and they burnt it on the last day of the festival.

The most important part of the holiday was eating pancakes. They symbolized Yarilo. People thought that by eating pancakes, they got the power, light and warmth of the sun.
