Shrovetide, the cheese week (before the spelling reform is also often SHROVETIDE) - festive cycle preserved in Russia since pagan (pre-Christian) times. The ritual is connected with wires of winter and spring meeting. After the baptism of Rus Pancake celebrated in the last week before Lent, seven weeks before Easter. The main attributes are Shrovetide pancakes and folk festivals.

Prior to the Baptism of Russia (the introduction of Christianity) Pancake (Komoeditsy) was observed during the 7 days preceding the day of vernal equinox, and 7 days after that day. Shrovetide - a time when nature awakens and the Sun-child becomes a young Koljada Yariloy, and in the human body is retuning the hormonal system, preparation for the spring form of activity. The Christian church has left the main celebration of spring, so as not to conflict with the traditions of the Russian people (the same was held in conjunction with Christmas on the day of the Winter Solstice), but shifted the winter's holiday beloved by people in order for it not to contradict the Great Lent, and shorten the holiday until 7 days.

Shrovetide - is mischievous and joyful farewell to winter and spring meeting, the carrier recovery in nature and the sun's heat. People have always been perceived beginning of spring as new life, giving strength to all living creatures. Unleavened cakes were first baked in honor of the sun, but when people learned to prepare the dough zakvasnoe they began cooking pancakes.

The ancients believed pancake was a symbol of the sun, because it isjust like the sun - yellow, round and warm, and believed that with a pancake, they eat a piece of his heat and power.

With the introduction of Christianity ritual celebration has changed. Pancake got its name from the church calendar, because this time - last week before Lent, allowed eating of butter, dairy products and fish, in a different way this week in the Orthodox Church is called cheese.
