Both children and adults love these public holidays. People don’t work or study for several days. They relax at home, visit relatives and exchange presents.

The holiday of seeing off of the winter is called Maslenitsa. The pancakes are the main attribute of this festival because a pancake is a symbol of the sun.

The Lenten fast begins after Maslenitsa for orthodox believers. ]]> 2020-12-07 20:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/achumak02/z9smhqhb2eqwzx3g/wish/995849561 achumak02 https://padlet.com/achumak02/z9smhqhb2eqwzx3g/wish/995867992 Easter is one of the widely celebrated holidays in Russia.
