And full of pancakes.

My skirt broke.
I'm going to sew up a skirt
To eat pancakes again.
Have fun playing, harmonica,

And just at Shrovetide
Seven days.

Cheated, tricked
Didn't let go!
How did the caroling guys go,
Grapes, my red-green!
Carolers, all factory workers,
We sought the court of our master,
Lord's yard at seven versts,
At seven versts, eight pillars.
In the middle of the yard, in the middle of the wide,
There are three towers
Three golden-domed towers.
In the first tower there is a red sun,
In the second teremu, asterisks are frequent,
The master himself is in the house, the master in the tower,
Mistress in the house, mistress in high,
Young girls in the house are like nuts in honey,
Grapes, my red-green!
Thank the owner, on bread, salt and salary.
Grapes, my red-green!
Fed, watered, let out of the yard,
Grapes, my red-green
Masleny week has come,
Was at the godfather for pancakes.

And four sat down at the table,
Gave space to the soul
looked at each other
And ... everyone ate pancakes!

Orthodox and folk verses for adults on Maslenitsa 2017 and Forgiveness Sunday
With the advent of Christianity in Rus', almost all pagan holidays Slavs were eradicated or distorted. But it was not possible to completely destroy the tradition of celebrating Maslenitsa. After numerous futile attempts to ban festivities, Orthodox Church the decision was made to reduce public holidays up to one week and combine Maslenitsa with the celebration of the Christian week of Cheese Week. Thus, in addition to folk verses for adults, Orthodox verses appeared on Maslenitsa and Forgiveness Sunday. And though the church still disapproves pagan rites with the burning of an effigy and fisticuffs, Maslenitsa is no longer under such a strict ban. You will find a selection of Orthodox and folk verses for adults on Maslenitsa and Forgiveness Sunday below.

Maslenitsa - fat-eater,

I took all the pancakes!
Gave a radish a tail
On the great post.
We ate it - the belly hurt.
And we rolled Shrove Tuesday,
And we did not see her in the eye,
We thought: carnival for seven weeks,
But Shrove Tuesday is seven days ...
Maslenitsa beckoned
Planted for Great Lent.
Bitter radish offered
And that radish is bitter to hell.
We are waiting for you at Maslenitsa!
Let's meet with a butter pancake.
Cheese, honey, kalach,
Yes, cabbage pie!
The Great Fast awaits all of us,
Eat for good people!
Walk all week
Eat all stocks.
And the Forgiveness Day will come,
We are not too lazy to bow,
Come Sunday -
We will ask for forgiveness
To remove all sins from the soul,
FROM with a pure heart meet the post!
Today we rejoice -
Today is the farewell to winter,
With pies and pancakes
In the noise of a cute mess!
Sledges are flying down the hill,
The eyes of a girl are burning
Songs, dances and festivities
What a day in a row!
This is Shrovetide

I love pancakes with herring
Wash them down with tasty vodka.
True, later in the evening
I look like a scarecrow!
My mother-in-law made me:
Eat a mushroom pancake
But I still lived a little,
I'm not ready to die!
Spent on Shrovetide
We fisticuffs,
I defeated my husband
After all, I have a frying pan!

Maslenitsa is an ancient Slavic holiday that has come down to us from the depths of pagan times. According to tradition, it was customary to carry out carols on Maslenitsa. With the advent of Christianity in Rus', the Maslenitsa holiday gradually acquired religious meanings. The time of the celebration was timed to coincide with the beginning of Great Lent and began to depend on the day of the celebration of Easter. According to ancient tradition, Maslenitsa is usually celebrated for a week. Saying goodbye to the winter and meeting the long-awaited spring, people visit each other, eat pancakes and burn an effigy.
Into the depths of centuries
In ancient times, a carol was a song performed during a ceremony or ritual. On a certain day of Shrovetide week (usually on Thursday), people, armed with various musical instruments went from house to house and sang carols. At the same time, the hosts certainly had to treat the “singers” with sweets or wine and receive a thank-you song in response to hospitality, which was the key to further longevity and well-being of the hosts. Nowadays, carols have no former sacred meaning, but do not lose their relevance among children, especially in rural areas. In many towns and villages, there is still a custom to organize caroling for children. The child dresses up and walks around the neighboring houses, singing carols, for which he will be rewarded in the form of sweets or coins. In the cities, Maslenitsa is no less fun. The noisiest festivities can be seen on the main square of the city, where a huge dressed-up effigy of Maslenitsa is installed. Round dances are danced around him, treats are distributed and various competitions, That is joyful event for both children and adults.
Shrovetide chants
Shrovetide songs include not only carols, but also ditties and jokes, in which Maslenitsa, as a symbol of the outgoing and fairly boring winter, was often ridiculed and endowed with negative traits. There are even cases of obscene expressions in the texts of Shrovetide carols. Maslenitsa is a celebration of abundance, so all sorts of delicacies are mentioned everywhere in the songs. The text of the carol below illustrates this very clearly:
Maslenitsa-wryneck,
We treat you well!
with pancakes
with loaves,
With dumplings!
The carols describe in detail the amusements that the jubilant people indulge in: sleigh rides from the hills, round dances and dances around a straw effigy.
A feature of the carol is interjections that convey the emotionality of the song and the unique folk flavor: “lyuli”, “leli”, “ai”, etc. Shrovetide songs can be divided into two conditional groups: songs with which Maslenitsa is greeted, and songs with which it is escorted.
In some texts, Maslenitsa is called the mistress and giver of blessings, while in others they are scolded and accused of all sorrows. And this is not surprising, because with the end of Shrovetide week began strict post. But, despite the difference in semantic content, all Shrovetide carols are sung equally joyfully and provocatively.
Maslenitsa-erzovka,
You fooled us, you bastard!
left us
For sour kvass
For lean cabbage soup,
For hungry meals.
Seeing off Maslenitsa is accompanied by a commemoration of the dead (this is why pancakes were baked, and not at all because pancakes are a symbol of the sun), as well as Christian tradition ask for forgiveness before Lent (Forgiveness Sunday). Here, cheerful motives give way to sad melodies.
So, newly married girls sang mournful songs, through which they complained about their life in new family and separation from home, where there is no way to get because of the flooded rivers. Nevertheless, the main motif of Shrovetide songs is joyful expectation warmth and future fun.

Carol, carol.

Give me a cow
Butterhead!
And God forbid that
Who is in this house
Who is in this house
The rye is thick for him,
supper rye;
Him with an ear of octopus,
From the grain of his carpet,
From half-grain - a pie.
God would give you
And living, and being,
And wealth
And create for you, Lord,
Even better than that!

On carnival
Wide-eyed Maslenitsa!
We praise you
We ride on the mountains

Oh, we sent Shrovetide,
They urged, lied, urged,
We made cheese with butter,
Started, lyoli, started,
We covered the mountain with pancakes,
Covered, lyoli, covered,
Topped with oil,
Watered, watered, watered.
As from cheese the mountain is steep,
The mountain is steep, lyoli, the mountain is steep,
And from the oil the mountain is clear.
The mountain is clear, loli, the mountain is clear.
And snow is falling on the mountain,
Snow is falling, pouring, snow is falling,
And mothers call us home
They call home, lyoli, they call home.
And we don't want to go home
I don't want, lyoli, I don't want,
We want to ride
Ride, lyoli, ride,
From the mountain to the fir tree.
To the fir-tree, lyoli, to the fir-tree.
Our pea is all rolling,
Everything is hot, loli, everything is hot,
Our grandmothers are grumbling,
Grumpy, loli, grumbling.
They mutter day and night,
Everyone grumbles, lyoli, everyone grumbles.
They lie on the stove, they all talk about us,
“Who would not come to us, would not bring something,
Gogolechek, gogolechek, lyoli, gogolechek.
Or a piece of cheese, or a bar of soap.
Gogolechek, gogolechek, lyoli, gogolechek.

Kupala rite
(“... when I was in western Ukraine, I was told various rituals, and I even managed to visit one of them ...”)
Usually the ceremony takes place on the bank of the river, the headquarters, in a forest clearing, but with the obligatory presence of water.
All the action begins to take place on June 6 in the morning. Teenage girls gather somewhere in the field and make a doll that looks like a witch. When they have made this doll, they carry it to the village and sing songs. There, in the village, the boys are already waiting for the girls. They rush to the girls and try to take the doll away, after which they tear it to pieces to the screams of the girls.
The main part of the holiday begins in the evening. As a rule, all children and elderly people come to this holiday. The smallest participants kindle a small fire, over which they then jump.
Then the action moves to a forest clearing or to the river bank. There, the girls make the so-called "Morena". To do this, cut a large branch from a cherry tree, on which there are three knots: one for the head, and the remaining two for the hands. The whole figure is decorated with flowers, multi-colored ribbons and beads. All this goes with the song.
After that, one of the girls puts a wreath on her head and carries the made stuffed animal to pasture, and the rest see her off and sing songs again.
Having reached the shore, the girls pour a small pile of sand and begin to dance, guess, etc.
Then, the girls pick flowers and weave wreaths for themselves while they sing. Young men join the girls and light torches. Then, all together go for firewood.
Around the fire, all those gathered sing songs. When the songs stop, then the young men begin to jump over the fire in order to be cleansed by the “Kupala fire”. Over time, the girls join the guys. Also, sometimes they jump in pairs.
According to custom, before jumping over the fire, the guy removes the wreath from the girl and puts it on his head, and puts his headdress on the girl's head. Having jumped over the fire, the couple passes around Kupala and stands behind the rest of the participants in the game. There is even a sign that if the couple does not disperse after jumping over the fire, they will soon get married.
When the fire begins to die down, the girls surround, so to speak, Kupala crowned with wreaths, and sing a farewell song.
After the farewell song, the girls begin to dismantle Kupala: all decorations and wreaths are removed from it and taken as a keepsake.
rite – a set of actions legalized by tradition, performed at a sacredly regulated time, place, and aimed at achieving a goal.
