Mardi Gras this year falls on the last week of winter.
“The pancake feast” will be held from 20 to 26 number. At this time I decided to see off winter and to entice long-awaited spring.
All week, you need to have fun, to walk-in guests and, of course, baking and eating pancakes. However, there are the Shrovetide (cheese sedmitsa) and their “food” bans. This is due to the fact that it precedes the time of lent.
As Mardi Gras falls on the last Church weeks before lent, the faithful shall be a ban on meat and meat products (this does not apply to fish). Also this is the last week before lent when you can eat dairy products and eggs.
What not to do on carnival 2017
Food
On Shrovetide – cheese week – to exclude from a diet meat and meat products, fish, and, accordingly, pancakes with fish is allowed.
Behavior
On carnival you can not swear and take the emotions with which to spend the days before the beginning of Lent. Cheese week in any case can not be angry, to quarrel and offend loved ones.
Cleaning
The celebration of carnival does not negate the cleaning in the house. Even better clean this week as follows, in the first week of Lent 2017 to give more time to prayer, good works, Church attendance.
Work
To work is possible and even necessary. Work, even, is added: you need to prepare a lot of delicious food, but it is pleasant chores. Here you will find the most delicious pancake recipes.
