March. It lasts for a week. Each day of

the week has its name. And it’s very interesting. All week long people bake blini and invite guests to treat them. Blini are the symbol of the sun, perhaps, because of their round form, or because of their yellow colour.
Shrovetide shows that winter comes to an end and spring knocks at the door.

Russia celebrated Shrovetide widely. There was a program of

celebrating which suggested a lot of activities. Children and grown-ups could:
Roll down hills,
Climb a poll,
Build townlet,
Ride troika
Burn a figure of a winter,
Set fireworks,
Eat blini .

people celebrate Shrovetide this way nowadays.

- Nobody of our parents took part in funny program of the holiday.
- We know about the celebrations from books and films.
