Масленица. Хорош этот древний славянский праздник — проводы зимы — со столами, которые ломятся от блинов и других яств и пития. В эти дни славянская душа — нараспашку, человек гуляет вовсю. Я желаю, чтобы у вас Масленица прошла как по маслу. Со щедрой веселой Масленицей!Поздравляю всех с окончанием холодной зимы, с нашим старинным праздником — Масленицей! Пусть масленичное изобилие и сытость не покидают ваш дом в течение всего года! Теплого солнца, сладких блинов, дружбы и согласия всем!....................................Pancake day. This ancient Slavic holiday is good — seeing off the winter — with tables that are bursting with pancakes and other dishes and drinking. These days, the Slavic soul is wide open, a person walks with might and main. I wish that your Carnival went like clockwork. With a generous merry Carnival!I congratulate everyone on the end of the cold winter, on our ancient holiday — Maslenitsa! May the Shrovetide abundance and satiety not leave your home throughout the year! Warm sun, sweet pancakes, friendship and harmony to all!....
So I am the king of Shrovetide today. Sunday the 26th of February is the Shrovetide day in Denmark, it the a childrens celebration day, where children are dresses up in various costumes and have a tradition of "hit the cat out of the barrel" but today the barrel is now not containing a cat as in earlier times, but candy or fruit; and the children hit the barrel up to i breaks and the candy / fruit falls out, and the child that make the final touch is the " king"
But I was not allowed to play with the same barrel, so I was out at look for a cat and a barrel filled the nice bones which I could play with ; but I did not find any, but I found my golden crown
Pancake Day has been celebrated in Britain for centuries as the feast day before Ash Wednesday, when the fasting season begins.
Historically, Anglo-Saxon Christians would go to confession on Shrove Tuesday to be absolved of their sins, before indulging in rich fat-based foods to use up ingredients ahead of Lent.
However, it is believed that the Christian Pancake Day was in fact borrowed from an old pagan festival to welcome the arrival of spring. Circular, hot pancakes were seen to symbolise the sun, providing those who ate them with the sun’s power and strength.
Shrove Tuesday originates from the Old English word ‘shrive’, which means to give absolution once hearing confession, usually by a priest. The day marks the end of Pre-Lenten Season, also known as Shrovetide.
This year, Shrove Tuesday falls on February 13, but the exact date of Pancake Day changes year on year as it is determined by when Easter falls – which can also differ annually due to the spring equinox.
Shrove Tuesday is always celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday, which takes place 40 days before Easter to represent Jesus’ 40 days spent fasting in the desert.
Прощеное воскресенье – это последний день Масленицы, воскресенье перед началом Великого поста... Поздравляю вас с Прощеным воскресеньем! Желаю вам добра, любви и счастья. Пусть в вашей жизни будет больше радости и меньше печали. Простите всех, кто вас обидел, и сами попросите прощения у тех, кого обидели вы. Ведь прощение — это ключ к счастью и миру в душе. С Прощеным воскресеньем вас!

Forgiveness Sunday is the last day of Maslenitsa, the Sunday before the beginning of Lent... I congratulate you on a Forgiving Sunday! I wish you well, love and happiness. May there be more joy and less sadness in your life. Forgive everyone who has offended you, and ask for forgiveness from those whom you have offended. After all, forgiveness is the key to happiness and peace of mind. Happy Forgiven Sunday to you!I baked these pancakes with cottage cheese, pancakes, pancakes, which I treat you to!

The annual Alnwick Shrovetide football match, has taken place between the rival parishes of St. Michael and St. Paul since 1762. Apparently it is one of only five ancient football games still played in the country.
This year's event was blessed by sunshine, though it could hardly be described as being warm. (7C feeling like 4C according to Strava).
"Football" is a very loose description since there are no real rules, the sides each have at least 30 or 40 players (male and female), there's no referee or umpire, though there are 2 'officials' by the goals at each end of the pitch to judge if a goal has been scored or the ball has gone beyond the goal for a 'goal-kick'. The pitch is about 400 yards long with the river a boundary on one side, there's a natural slope on the other which sort of acts as the other boundary.
The match is won when one of the teams scores two 'hales' or goals ie gets the ball between the posts which are decorated with greenery and are taller than they are wide. And the 'pitch' on the pastures opposite Alnwick Castle is the grazing ground for sheep and cattle for a good part of the year & can be pretty wet in February (it was waterlogged this year!), which all adds to the fun.
There's not a lot going on in this shot as a 'hale' had just been scored and the ball is in the hands of an official (seen in a red hat just to the left of the red & yellow Northumberland flag), prior to the teams swapping ends before the re-start.
If anyone is still reading, this year's match was won by St. Michael's 2-1 (a pity since we live in the St. Paul's part of the town!).

February 26 is the day of Shrovetide (carnival) 2017 in Russia (Julian calendar).
The air temperature on this day was -7...-5°С (19...23°F = 266...268K).

Rus.: Массовое обливание холодной водой
Так провожали зиму в Омске (а было всего-то -7...-5°С холода;-). Но зима задержалась на месяцок, через пару дней морозы вернулись к отметкам до -28°С ;-)
Участвовали в обливании омские моржи (их клуб и прорубь рядышком) и приглашались все, увлечённые закаливанием. В кадре и мужчины, и женщины, и совсем ещё дети (девчушка слева)

Rus.: Упорство
Фон на данном и некоторых других фото может ввести в заблуждение из-за зелёных деревьев. Но это - ёлки, они и зимой зелёные, в нижней части заметен снег, а температура в последний день масленицы была хоть и сравнительно комфортной для Сибири, но вполне себе отрицательной: -5...-7, так что герои репортажа выдержали испытание не только на физическую силу и ловкость, но и на устойчивость к холоду ;-)

Today is the Shrovetide day.
Underway last play before the beginning of Lent.
On the street you can meet different colorful characters.
A market town, its market charter was granted in 1257
Located 14 miles west of Derby, near the southern edge of the Peak District.
It is the closest town to Dovedale, and is often referred to as The Gateway to Dovedale.
The town sits at the start of the Tissington Trail footpath, which makes it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Ashbourne has more than 200 listed buildings. Of particular interest are the Old Grammar School, the reputedly longest inn sign in the world, located outside The Green Man & Black's Head Royal Hotel, and the beautiful St Oswald's Parish Church with its striking 212 feet high spire.
The town is famous for its ancient tradition of Royal Shrovetide Football. The game is played each Shrovetide Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. It's a unique and unruly event that bears little resemblance to the modern game!

A rare, painted, gallows-type inn sign bridges the road.
The Green Man & Black's Head Royal Hotel
A famous Georgian coaching inn, circa 18th century.
The sign over the road was constructed in 1825 when the Green Man and the Blackmoor Inn were joined
The sign was Grade II listed in 1951, and updated to Grade II* in 1974.
The gallows-type sign is mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records as being the longest inn sign in the world.
It was damaged by a lorry strike in 2006, but subsequently repaired.
The original sign featured an effigy of a black man's head.
Go here to see my image taken in 2016: flic.kr/p/GNmUix
In June 2020, during the George Floyd protests, a 28,000-signature petition called for the head to be taken down, describing it as "disgusting racist imagery".
Derbyshire Dales District Council said it would remove the head as soon as possible, but locals removed it the same day, saying they had done so to protect it from vandalism, adding it would be restored with "a lick of black paint" and reinstalled at a later date.
The council, however, decided against replacing the controversial head, and its future currently remains undecided.
Grade ll* listed.
Ashbourne Reborn
A £15.2m transformation project which will improve public spaces and the pedestrian experience with wider pavements and safer crossings.
This part of the Ashbourne Reborn project has been completed, and the wider pavements and safer crossings can be seen.

There were 14 floats a many walking groups and music bands.Carnaval is a very old tradition and even dates back to the Middle Ages.
It gives people the chance of forgetting their everyday worries and people from all social classes meet and celebrate together.

Today is the day of the Shrovetide. I wish you and your family all the best!
I did the shoot today with this lovely beauty named Milena. Only two years old. We were at the square where people were celebrating the Pancake week. Nobody could pass over our model :) Everybody took photos of her. Milena, being a brave model, did her best, paying no attention at exterior photographers! But at the end she asked: 'Why does everyone laugh at me?'

This picture I took at Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht (shrovetide) in Gengenbach (a town in the margins of the Black Forest, Germany) over a decade ago
At that time we went to a lot of Shrovetide events to take photos of the beautiful masks and figures
This is the very friendly figure "Strohhansel" (Straw Hansel) with a wooden mask (called: Larve) handing out sweets to children

In Ashbourne this Shrove Tuesday (March 4 this year) for the traditional free-for-all known as Shrovetide Football. Crowds steadily gathered at the Shaw Croft plinth where the 'Turner-up' begins the games by throwing the ball into the crowd.
The traditional carnival celebrations at Vila Boa, one of the villages in Northeastern Portugal that's home pre-Christian masked traditions.
