Maslenitsa
What is Maslenitsa? It is an event that my wife, kids, and I celebrate every year. This is one of my favorite times of the year because it is absolutely filled with some great food called "Blinchiki" which are basically crepes that can be filled with meats, cheeses, fish, and even desserts!
It is celebrated around the world and lasts an entire week before The Great Lent, or Great Fast which occurs for seven weeks leading up to Orthodox Easter. Orthodox Easter is May 2nd this year, which follows the old Julian calendar, which is why it is on a different day as Catholic Easter which follows the Gregorian calendar. The belly is full today!
