Yura: One of the oldest and most interesting celebrations in Belarus is Kalyady. People celebrate it from December 25th to January 6th or from January 7th to January 19th . The Kalyady tradition is more than 2 thousand years old . Not many people celebrate it in Belarus now, but in my granny’s village they do.

Before Kalyady people tidy up and decorate their houses .They always wash in the sauna .They cook a special dish — Kalyadnaya kyttzya or kasha — and eat it three times .They think kuttzya protects them .On the 25th of December young people dress in the costumes of animals, go from house to house, dance, sing carols and wish happiness . Those who live in the houses give them some food: sweets and fruit, usually apples .

Last year my family celebrated Kalyady in the village . We had a snowball fight, played games and told jokes . My cousin and I went from house to house and sang carols together with other people . I was dressed as a bear and she was dressed as a goat .We had a lot of fun!

Kupalle

One of the oldest and interesting celebrations in Belarus is Kupalle. People celebrate it on June 21th. People started to celebrate this holiday from pagan¹ times. It was a time when people gave thanks to Sun, Earth, Water and Fire. Also this holiday connected with the birthday of John the Baptist, so now people call Kupalle – Ivan Kupala.

People often celebrate Kupalle in the evening and at night in the park. Our grandparents believed that on this night mermaids² bathed in rivers, witches and ghosts tried to scare people, and animals and plants could speak. And if you want to see these magic things you need to find fern flower³ that bloomed⁴ only once a year.

At Kupalle unmarried girls make wreaths⁵ and keep them on the water, because they want to find husbands. Another tradition is making a large fire and a boy and a girl will take up arms and will jump over the fire. Late in the evening or at night the young people will go to the park or the forest to look for fern flower, but there is a legend.

Maslenitsa

One of the most interesting and yummy celebrations in Belarus is Maslinitsa. People celebrate it from March 4th to Match 10th this year. This special day is a symbol of saying hello to spring and saying goodbye to winter. People started to celebrate this holiday from pagan¹ times. In the past people believed that the 1st day of spring is unpredictable². The weather could be warm and quickly³ became cold.

Now people celebrate this holiday all week. There are concerts in every city. People take part⁴ in many competitions⁵, sing songs, ride horses, drink hot tea with pancakes⁶. Pancake is a symbol of the Sun this day.

The day ends in burning of a big man of straw⁷. On Sunday, last day of Maslenitsa, people visit their relatives and grandparents. They say each other “Sorry” and then cook the most delicious⁸ pancakes with different fillings⁹. Sometimes you can see a street festival in your city.
