Negativity and Deception

Thinking bad thoughts and behaving negatively will bring sad consequences.

Rudeness, deception, gossip can attract troubles, so it is worth sticking to positive thoughts and doing good deeds.

Restrictions for girls

Single women are not advised to spend the entire day in female company only.

Violating this rule can make it difficult to meet potential lovers until Maslenitsa.

Signs about food

On this day, it is not recommended to cook spicy dishes or serve too hot food to your husband or boyfriend.

But dishes with nuts, on the contrary, will bring harmony to relationships.

What can be done

Harmony and good deeds

Silence and quiet on this day help strengthen family ties.

Try to spend the day in peace and avoid conflicts.

Feed the birds

Feeding birds is considered a good thing.

A symbolic gesture will attract kindness and support throughout the year.

Advice from elders

Listening to advice from older family members can be helpful. Their words can be the key to important decisions or hints on the right path.
