Happy Maslenitsa!

Maslenitsa ("Масленица" in Russian) is a ancient slavic celebration marking the return of spring. After a long winter, Russians are in a festive mood and are happy to celebrate all together the end of the cold season.Maslenitsa is  also known as Butter Week, Crepe week, or Cheesefare Week and it is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent, that is, the eighth week before Eastern Orthodox Pascha (Easter).

Maslenitsa,

Maslenitsa (ven. Масленица, sanasta масло, voi) on venäläinen juhla, jonka alkuperä on pakanallisissa ajoissa. Sitä vietetään seitsemännellä viikolla ennen pääsiäistä, juuri ennen kristittyjen suurta paastoa, ja se vastaa siten Suomen laskiaista. Juhlan viettoon kuuluu herkuttelu rasvaisilla ohukaisilla ja muilla ruoilla, minkä vuoksi sitä kutsutaan myös nimillä bliniviikko ja voiviikko.
