Shrovetide – is a carnival, which escorts winter. From early morning people in costumes begin roaming – devils, witches, reapers, goats, Gypsies, beggars and others. They usually visit homes, sometimes businesses as well, play pranks, act, sing, try to snatch something and then demand payment, throw water or if they catch someone, they bathe them in snow. After the pranks, the ones in costume ask for pancakes or money. It is believed that on this day you have to eat a lot (not less than 12 times), because it is the last day before the fast of Lent.
