Today is the last day of pancake week. Festivals are organized in all parks. People have fun, eat pancakes, and in the evening burn Maslenitsa - say goodbye to the winter and meet the spring.
Today we visited the festival in the main city Park of Moscow - Gorky Park.
"Maslenitsa" is unusual today - simbol of "heavy winter" (she usually looks like a rag doll). At the end of the evening it will gladly burn.
Hot wine and pancakes
someone's celebrating on the ship
Its not too cold in Moscow, in the river between the ice floes swim ducks (sorry for quality)
they are constantly fed by Park visitors
musicians on stage almost undressed
For children organized a playground with hay, adults enjoy the scent of hay nearby
At the appointed time we all gathered for the ritual burning. Animators diligently entertain the audience
Well, On Monday at Orthodox the most strict post begins. And now - with holiday! :)
