Pancakes are a native Slavic dish that appeared in the times of the pagans. Then pancakes were considered a symbol of the sun and were baked, as a rule, at the beginning of spring.
For pancakes there is a holiday Maslenitsa. However, with the advent of Christianity, this celebration of paganism lost its original meaning. Pancake Day was necessary for people to bring pancakes as a gift to the goddess Lada. So she blessed the Slavs for fertility in the coming summer.
