Many people know about the holiday Pancake Day, but not everyone will be able to remember the existence of Oladnitsa. This holiday was honored in our country in ancient times. Up until the XIX century Oladnitsa meant the coming of Lent. At this time it was possible to bake pancakes, only without ingredients of animal origin. That is, milk and eggs were excluded from the recipe.
In the XX century, with the arrival of the Communists, such holidays were abolished. After a while, people remembered only Pancake Day, because it is a more nourishing and large-scale celebration.
The main symbol of Oladnitsa were pancakes
