Hi Jim! I\'m glad you wrote to me. Yes, we have a holiday in Russia, very similar to your Pancake Day. It is called Shrovetide. Every year it is celebrated on different dates, because it is tied to a Great post. This holiday is celebrated a week before it starts. Once it was a pagan holiday of the Slavic tribes, which marked the border between winter and spring. It was very loved among the people. Therefore, when Christianity was adopted, it was decided to leave it, but to coincide with the new faith. Traditionally, folk festivals are held on this holiday, they wear traditional clothes and bake pancakes. Pancake is a symbol of the sun. It is now popular to make pancakes with various fillings. I love Shrovetide. I with my parents try to never miss out on festivities.
