Feast of pancakes

In the agro-town Belogurno the event «Feast of pancakes» took place.

The festive program began with a bright theatrical opening with the participation of the couple Simon and Marili, who in the course of their fervent conversation lit up the theme of the holiday and summed up all participants of the event to its main symbol — a buttered pancake.

Guests of the celebration were greeted by the hostesses-leaders. They reminded everyone that the pancake for Belarusians — one of the most favorite everyday treats — is an old-fashioned symbol of many folk festivals and rituals. In a rich Slavic culture, a pancake symbolizes the Sun, is a symbol of warmth and yield.

For the participants of the celebration, an ethnographic gallery of handicraft creations by local skilled craftsmen, exhibition expositions of elements of a village hut, flower compositions for any kind of work, and, of course, a thematic exhibition of culinary products, on which the main delicacy of the holiday was occupied — oil fragrant pancakes.
