Pancakes, bonfires, burning a scarecrow—these are basically all that a modern person knows about Maslenitsa. But just a hundred years ago, Maslenitsa Week was the most desired holiday for the Russian people. They believed: how you spend Maslenitsa, so will be the year. That’s why they didn’t skimp on treats and new outfits.
Maslenitsa Week is not only a feast for the whole world—it’s also a whole complex of rituals for a rich and happy life. Today, not many people know how to celebrate this holiday. The book “The Magic of Maslenitsa” will help. It explains in detail what to do on each day: what dish to prepare, what ritual to perform. So you can be sure you’ll do everything correctly at the right time—and in doing so, set a program of well-being for the entire next year.
