Maslenitsa is a solemn farewell to winter and a meeting of spring
This is the most cheerful, national and nourishing holiday, which lasts for a week. A good sign was to set up a wedding for Shrovetide. In people and today there is expression of:"Life – as on oil.... In Leninogorsk the registry office in a pancake week registered their marriage of 7 couples. Employees of the registry office tried to make the wedding ceremonies bright, beautiful, memorable: treated them pancakes and, conducting rituals, wished that their family life was "like clockwork", and guests to peace and kindness were in every family, so that a mountain of rosy, fragrant pancakes on the table became a symbol of prosperity and change for the better. Leaves Carnival, and with it the winter. Spring comes into its own. And I would like to wish the newlyweds who have created a family at pancake week that their married life was long and happy.
