SHROVETIDE – a joyful celebration!

14.02.2021

The most known shrovetide customs in Estonia today are eating pea soup and ‘vastlakukkel’ (a sweet roll with cream) as well as sliding down a hill on a sledge. Lesser known are the prohibition of working, and the requirement of combing and cutting one’s hair so it would grow long and thick. In recent years, one cannot even count on sledging – the winters are unpredictable and the snow might not arrive on time for the Shrovetide. Nonetheless, Shrovetide is a joyful holiday, the day before the fast when hearty meat dishes were eaten and fun games were played.
