People celebrate this holiday in February or in March. It lasts for a week. Each day of the week has its name. And its 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.

People of 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.

We tried to find out if people celebrate Shrovetide this way nowadays. Our observations: - All our grandparents took part in Shrovetide celebrations. - Nobody of our parents took part in funny program of the holiday. - We know about the celebrations from books and films.

Shrovetide brings new hopes. It introduces new season.

There is a tendency today to give Shrovetide the second birth. And we see positive experience. In some places people follow the old traditions by setting bonfires, riding troika, buillding snowtowers, burning a figure of winter. We hope that we will take part in such activities in future.
