This day was the meeting day. It was on Monday that our ancestors invited close friends and relatives to their place.
The whole family gathered at a large table. The hostesses made goodies all day long: they could not do without casseroles, dumplings and cabbage rolls. On the first day of the week, people made a scarecrow and placed it in the center of a village or town. Thus, it delighted the locals until Sunday.

The second day of the week was distinguished by the fact that they made bridesmaids on Maslenitsa. Parents of girls and boys went to visit each other, and the guys were looking for their future wives at the festivities and the celebration of Maslenitsa. They had to have time to spend the bride before Lent.
