This bright, colorful holiday at the end of winter delights both kids and adults. Games, songs, dancing, cheerful laughter and noise are its main features. And it’s called Maslenitsa. True, in some regions of Belarus this holiday is called differently: Maslenka, Syrnitsa, etc. The church calendar also recorded the celebration of Maslenitsa: here it appears as “Cheese Week.” These “milk” names are not accidental. At this time - when Maslenitsa was celebrated - dairy products appeared on the table of the peasants in very large quantities, since the cows had already calved. It was forbidden to eat meat during the holiday week, so these dishes became the main ones.
Maslenitsa is one of the most ancient Slavic holidays. It never had a specific date in the calendar: it began to be celebrated eight weeks before Easter. A huge advantage of this holiday was that it lasted a whole week. According to one version, our ancestors began to celebrate this holiday to honor the god Veles, who patronized domestic animals. It is also significant that the church has changed practically nothing about the pagan holiday. The ancient rituals were simply given some religious features.
To prepare, you will need the following ingredients (the quantity of products is designed for 4 servings): • Potatoes – 12 pcs. • Flour – 1 tbsp. • Onions – 2 pcs. • Lard – 50 g. • Sunflower oil in a frying pan. • Pepper and salt to taste. Cooking process: • Wash and peel the potatoes and onions, grate the vegetables on a fine grater. • Then fry the lard, pepper and salt it, add flour. Instead of lard, you can use other meat products: pork, ham and even pieces of pork ear. The ingredients for babka depend only on your taste and imagination.
• Mix together the potato and onion mixture along with the fried meat ingredients. • Grease the mold with vegetable oil, sprinkle it with ground breadcrumbs if desired. • Place the resulting mass into the mold, level it, sprinkle vegetable oil on top and place in the oven to bake. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown at 180C.
• Family holidays and traditions dedicated to them. For example, a birthday, which often becomes the first significant event in a child’s life. Gifts, special preparation, festive dishes distinguish such a day from others and allow the birthday person to feel the significance of the event and teach them how to receive guests. This includes the celebration of national holidays, which unites people across the country and the world.
Celebrating significant events in the family: anniversaries, successes and achievements of household members.
Stories before bed.
Wishes good night, good morning, kiss goodnight. Such relationships are important even with an older child. After all, from a lack of care and affection, children grow up insensitive and callous.
Babka or potato casserole is a popular dish in Belarusian traditional cuisine.
For the ancestors of modern Belarusians, carols were the main winter holiday, which was associated primarily with the winter solstice and symbolized the beginning of a new year - both sunny and agricultural. The celebration began on December 25 and lasted until January 6. In the city, the celebration was different from the village; there were festive festivities and fairs at that time. Balls and dance evenings were held for rich townspeople. Children also loved this holiday: they could enjoy performances, dancing, a festive tree and gifts.
Fortune telling was a mandatory attribute of carols.
There were three kutyas (ritual evenings) during Christmastide. The first kutya was called great and was held on the eve of Christmas. She was fast. The second kutya was called rich and was held before the New Year. The table was laden with all kinds of hearty dishes, even kutia was cooked in lard or butter.
Nowadays, caroling occurs mainly from January 7th to 8th. The carolers began to change their clothes again, and the owners are trying to give them more generous gifts so that the year will be successful. Traditional fortune telling at Christmas has also resumed, but now it is treated more like a practical joke.

Recipe.
Slutsk belts can be seen in museums around the world; they are one of the most recognizable brands of the city. But Slutsk also has another unusual attraction - Slutskiye sausages, a popular dish that can be found in canteens and cafes throughout the former USSR and even in the USA. This close relative of cutlets has its own twist - the sausages are cooked without onions, and in addition to minced meat, carrots play the main role.
Pets care.Animals are a huge topic for the whole family to study. You can get an unusual pet, go to pet stores and zoos, learn to draw animals, collect the Insects and Friends series, study encyclopedias about animals, read the Red Book, decorate the walls in your house with animals. You can study trees and grass in exactly the same way.
On this day, trees move from place to place, animals talk to each other, and in the rivers you can see mermaids swimming in crystal clear water. This day is covered with so many legends and traditions like no other in the year, and no one can guarantee which of them is true and which is fiction. This day is the holiday of Ivan Kupala. It is celebrated on the night of July 6-7, but according to some sources our ancestors celebrated it on June 23 - on the eve of the summer solstice.
One of the most famous Kupala rituals is the search for a fern flower, which serves as the key to comprehending all the wonders of this night. The owner of this flower could understand the conversation of birds and animals, see mermaids and watch how centuries-old oak trees move from place to place. In addition, the happy owner of a wonderful flower could see all the treasures on earth. According to legend, only very brave people found the fern flower. To do this, it was necessary to go into a deep thicket before sunset, where the crow of a rooster does not penetrate. Then choose a place where there are a lot of ferns, light a loud candle and wait until midnight until the flower blooms. The evil spirits will try to scare the daredevil and force him to leave.
The Kupala flower is not the only plant that our ancestors worshiped. They believed that on this day all plants have incredible healing powers. Therefore, during the day, women and girls went to the meadow or field to collect flowers and herbs, which were blessed in the church. These plants were then treated throughout the year.
Not a single Kupala night was complete without a fire - cleansing by fire was the most important ritual of Kupala. The boys were always involved in preparing the fire: they collected old and unnecessary things from all over the village, and piled them on the river bank. A mandatory attribute was a lit wheel, which was raised up on a pole. It symbolized the sun.
Semukha. Semukha, Green Christmastide - this is what Belarusians call the holiday of the Trinity. This day is one of the most important holidays of the Orthodox calendar. It is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter, so you can hear another name for it - Pentecost. For Belarusians, the Trinity is included in a whole cycle of interconnected holidays. These holidays begin on Thursday of the seventh week after Easter, hence Semukha.
Such an amazingly airy and fluffy apple pie, which belongs to Belarusian cuisine! The principle of preparation is the ability to rise the dough several times, thanks to this the cake turns out to be very airy and fluffy, and, despite the fact that it seems large in volume, it is very light! Apples give it a rich taste and juiciness, while the pie bakes without problems and remains soft for a long time!
The last month of summer pleases Belarusians with three national holidays: the honey, apple and nut Spas is celebrated in August. Now these dates are inextricably linked with Christianity, because the Spas is a holiday dedicated to the Savior, Jesus Christ. But their story began much earlier.
According to the ancient agricultural calendar, Spas was timed to coincide with the time when grain crops, vegetables, fruits and other gifts of the earth began to ripen. That’s why Spas bears such names – honey, apple and nut.
The following ingredients will be required: • flour; • milk; butter; for filling: berries or cottage cheese with sugar, cheese, minced meat, fried mushrooms or other ingredients that suit your taste Cooking process: • Rare, liquid dough is prepared from flour and fresh milk. • The frying pan is heated and the thinnest pancakes are fried on it. One ready-made pancake is set aside - it will be useful at the end of the cooking process. • Pre-prepared filling is placed in the pancakes, they are wrapped in a tube (can be folded in four in an envelope). • The prepared sheets are greased with butter and fried in a hot frying pan on both sides. • The fried pancakes are placed in a pot, each layer is laid with butter, and the pancakes can be covered on top with a pancake set aside in advance. • The pot is closed with a lid and placed in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until the filling is completely cooked and the linings are especially saturated.
In a separate pan, fry the ribs, meat and chopped sausages. Take out the meat products and throw the chopped onion into the frying pan where they were fried. Pour hot water over the meat and onions and simmer in a roasting pan or thick-bottomed pan for 1 hour. Then use a slotted spoon to remove all the pit food and pour a mug of water mixed with flour into the liquid in which they were stewed. Boil a little, stirring continuously, until a thick consistency is achieved. Return the meat to the sauce and simmer for another half hour.
Easter. One of the most important Christian holidays in Belarus is Easter (or Vyalikdzen). This holiday is associated with a large number of different rituals and traditions, many of which are still performed today. For more than 2 thousand years, the resurrection of Jesus Christ has been celebrated on this day. This important day for believers is also accompanied by the end of strict fasting. On Easter, it is customary to bake Easter cakes, make paska and paint eggs - these are obligatory attributes of the holiday. It is also advisable to attend the all-night service on this holiday and see the religious procession - a truly mesmerizing spectacle.
Preparations for Easter always began ahead of time. A week before the holiday, believers celebrated Palm Sunday - the day when willow branches were blessed. In general, the entire week before Easter was called palm week. A favorite pastime on Easter was the game of cue ball: they checked whose egg was stronger. In addition, in some regions they liked to roll eggs: if an egg rolling from a tubercle knocked down another, the player took it for himself.
Nalistniki are Belarusian thin pancakes. At the same time, they easily keep their shape. With or without filling, they are rolled into a tube, but the main feature is simmering, long simmering with butter and sugar. Of course, they used to be simmered in an oven, in a cast iron pot.
What kind of national cuisine can there be without its own dessert?! The Belarusian culinary tradition has a large number of delicious sweet dishes, but kulaga deserves special attention.
Classic kulaga is a sweet dish made from rye flour and any fresh forest berries (usually blueberries or strawberries). Previously, dessert was consumed not only as a delicacy, but also as a medicine in folk medicine. Popular for colds and diseases of the nervous system.
Recipe: To prepare kulaga, not only rye flour, but also wheat flour can be used. It is better to take forest berries as fresh berries, but homemade ones can also be suitable - blueberries, rowan berries, raspberries, viburnum and others.
Lazanki appeared in Belarusian cuisine in the 16th century. The dish consists of pieces of dough in the shape of squares or triangles, molded from wheat, buckwheat or rye flour. The Belarusian dish lazanka has a certain similarity with the famous Italian lasagna: not only in name, but also in taste.
In Belarus, lazanki were boiled from rolled out hard dough and then filled with fried onions and lard. They were baked or stewed in a pot in the oven, adding cabbage or meat to the pieces of dough, pouring sour cream on the dish. During Lent, lazanka became a sweet dish: pieces of dough were mixed with grated poppy seeds or mashed berries.

Machanka is the quintessential Belarusian dish. Very satisfying, with a bright taste and national flavor. Like many Belarusian dishes, machanka got its name in honor of the method of consumption - something was dipped into it, first of all, thick ruddy pancakes.

Potato dumplings are a traditional dish of Belarusian cuisine. Every grandmother in the village knows how to make dumplings, although, like any traditional dish, this dish has different cooking methods. They have one thing in common: to make the dumplings truly tasty, it will take a lot of time and effort.
Draniki are the first national dish that a Belarusian himself will name, even perhaps forgetting about all the other traditional dishes. It is difficult to imagine a resident of Belarus who would never cook, eat or treat his guests to pancakes made from raw grated potatoes.
Officially, the author of the famous potato pancakes is Jan Shytler (Sapieha's cook). In 1830, in his book, he described the famous recipe that he “spied” on the Germans.
To prepare Slutskiye sausages, add 1 egg, 1 carrot, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, salt and pepper, finely grated to 500 g of minced pork. Mix and form oblong sausage-shaped cutlets. Roll in potato starch and fry on both sides in oil until golden brown. Slutsk-style sausages are served with mashed potatoes and pickles. You can also serve the dish with stewed cabbage.
Collecting. A classic hobby that is usually carried out by one member of the family, but you can try to transform this hobby into a family hobby. Think about what can unite you all in the family - postcards, coins, decks of playing cards, dolls, tin soldiers, cars, doll miniatures? There are an endless variety of collecting options, and yours is probably among them.
Semukha. Semukha, Green Christmastide - this is what Belarusians call the holiday of the Trinity. This day is one of the most important holidays of the Orthodox calendar. It is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter, so you can hear another name for it - Pentecost. For Belarusians, the Trinity is included in a whole cycle of interconnected holidays. These holidays begin on Thursday of the seventh week after Easter, hence Semukha.
Dziady. A distinctive feature of the Belarusian people has always been respect for their ancestors and their parishes. In the Belarusian calendar there were more than five days a year when the dead were commemorated, and these days were usually called Dzyady. They were celebrated on Maslenitsa, on Radovnitsa, on Trinity, before the summer holiday of Peter and Paul, and also in the fall. Autumn Dziady has always been largely stable. True, there was no exact date for the holiday.

• Prepare your starter. Pour warm water over the oatmeal, add garlic and leave to steep in a warm place for one day.
• The next day, prepare the filling. Peel onions, carrots and potatoes and cut into cubes, hunting sausages into circles.
• Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into a frying pan and fry the onions and carrots. Place the vegetables in a saucepan, add chopped potatoes and cover with water. Place on the fire and bring to a boil.

Here, we’ll help you understand the what qualities make families special. Ready to learn more? Then read on! Nuclear families consist of two parents and at least one child. When you think of a traditional family structure—married parents and their children (either biological or adopted) in a family home—that’s a nuclear family. They’re also called “elementary” families and tend to be among the most common types—though numbers have started decreasing in recent years. The core idea behind nuclear families is that parents raise kids together under one roof. Single-parent families involve one parent raising one or more children. The family unit often consists of a mother and her kids, a father and his kids, or a person and their kids, though they may also get support from extended family. Extended families consist of multiple extended relatives living together. In an extended family, parents live with their kids and other relatives (related by either blood or marriage) under one roof, such as aunts, uncles, cousins, or grandparents. Next to nuclear families, this structure is also considered fairly traditional. Stepfamilies involve two separate families merging into one new unit. When divorced or widowed parents remarry someone new - the result is a blended stepfamily.

Zhur is a national dish of Belarusian and Polish cuisine. It is a unique, sour soup based on oatmeal and sour flour. The soup can be either lean or with meat, brisket, smoked lard or ham.
In both Belarusian and Polish cuisine, zhur was prepared using different types of flour and even cereals: oats (oatmeal starter “tsezhi”), ground buckwheat flour, rye or wheat flour. To make the zhur truly tasty, you should pay close attention to both stages of its preparation: preparing the starter and choosing meat additives.
For the ancestors of modern Belarusians, carols were the main winter holiday, which was associated primarily with the winter solstice and symbolized the beginning of a new year - both sunny and agricultural. The celebration began on December 25 and lasted until January 6. In the city, the celebration was different from the village; there were festive festivities and fairs at that time. Balls and dance evenings were held for rich townspeople. Children also loved this holiday: they could enjoy performances, dancing, a festive tree and gifts.
Fortune telling was a mandatory attribute of carols.
There were three kutyas (ritual evenings) during Christmastide. The first kutya was called great and was held on the eve of Christmas. She was fast. The second kutya was called rich and was held before the New Year. The table was laden with all kinds of hearty dishes, even kutia was cooked in lard or butter.
Nowadays, caroling occurs mainly from January 7th to 8th. The carolers began to change their clothes again, and the owners are trying to give them more generous gifts so that the year will be successful. Traditional fortune telling at Christmas has also resumed, but now it is treated more like a practical joke.
For preparation you will need the following ingredients: • Potatoes - 8-10 pcs. medium size. • Egg – 1 pc. • Onion - 1 large. • Flour - 3-4 tbsp • Salt to taste. Cooking process:
• Find and prepare gauze in advance: it will be necessary for squeezing the potatoes. You can take a piece of gauze 30*90 cm, fold it three times along the length to get a tight square.
• Start the cooking process by grating the onion on the finest grater. If you start with it, and not with potatoes, then when you rub the potatoes, the vegetable will not change color (it will not darken). The onion can also be chopped in a blender.
• Grate the potatoes on the finest grater, without the help of a blender.
• Mix the onion and potatoes and squeeze the resulting mixture through cheesecloth. Save the potato juice, it will come in handy later.
• Break an egg into the potato mixture and add salt.
• Drain the juice from the bowl of potato juice - the starch will remain at the bottom: a thin layer of pale pink congealed mass. Add it back to the potato mixture.
• Add some flour - it may be a little less or a little more than in the recipe, depending on how the potatoes are pressed. Knead into a soft dough: suitable for rolling into balls.
• First, place a large (about 4 liter) saucepan half filled with water on the heat, and then begin shaping the dumplings.
• Roll into balls about 3cm in diameter: dumplings this size will taste better than larger ones. Place the formed dumplings on a tray sprinkled with flour.
• Cook the dumplings in small batches of 30. Place them in boiling salted water one at a time, do not pour them all at once. Once all the dumplings are immersed in water, stir them carefully so that none stick to the bottom, reduce the heat (the water should not boil). The dumplings should not be cooked for long: about two minutes after they float to the surface.
• Remove the dumplings carefully with a slotted spoon, a few at a time.

This bright, colorful holiday at the end of winter delights both kids and adults. Games, songs, dancing, cheerful laughter and noise are its main features. And it’s called Maslenitsa. True, in some regions of Belarus this holiday is called differently: Maslenka, Syrnitsa, etc. The church calendar also recorded the celebration of Maslenitsa: here it appears as “Cheese Week.” These “milk” names are not accidental. At this time - when Maslenitsa was celebrated - dairy products appeared on the table of the peasants in very large quantities, since the cows had already calved. It was forbidden to eat meat during the holiday week, so these dishes became the main ones. Maslenitsa is one of the most ancient Slavic holidays. It never had a specific date in the calendar: it began to be celebrated eight weeks before Easter. A huge advantage of this holiday was that it lasted a whole week. According to one version, our ancestors began to celebrate this holiday to honor the god Veles, who patronized domestic animals. It is also significant that the church has changed practically nothing about the pagan holiday. The ancient rituals were simply given some religious features.

Balls and dance evenings were held for rich townspeople. Children also loved this holiday: they could enjoy performances, dancing, a festive tree and gifts. Fortune telling was a mandatory attribute of carols. There were three kutyas (ritual evenings) during Christmastide. The first kutya was called great and was held on the eve of Christmas. She was fast. The second kutya was called rich and was held before the New Year. The table was laden with all kinds of hearty dishes, even kutia was cooked in lard or butter. Nowadays, caroling occurs mainly from January 7th to 8th. The carolers began to change their clothes again, and the owners are trying to give them more generous gifts so that the year will be successful.

Here, we’ll help you understand the what qualities make families special. Ready to learn more? Then read on! Nuclear families consist of two parents and at least one child. When you think of a traditional family structure—married parents and their children (either biological or adopted) in a family home—that’s a nuclear family. They’re also called “elementary” families and tend to be among the most common types—though numbers have started decreasing in recent years. The core idea behind nuclear families is that parents raise kids together under one roof. Single-parent families involve one parent raising one or more children. The family unit often consists of a mother and her kids, a father and his kids, or a person and their kids, though they may also get support from extended family. Extended families consist of multiple extended relatives living together. In an extended family, parents live with their kids and other relatives (related by either blood or marriage) under one roof, such as aunts, uncles, cousins, or grandparents. Next to nuclear families, this structure is also considered fairly traditional. Stepfamilies involve two separate families merging into one new unit. When divorced or widowed parents remarry someone new - the result is a blended stepfamily.

For preparation you will need the following ingredients: • Potatoes - 8-10 pcs. medium size. • Egg – 1 pc. • Onion - 1 large. • Flour - 3-4 tbsp • Salt to taste. Cooking process: • Find and prepare gauze in advance: it will be necessary for squeezing the potatoes. You can take a piece of gauze 30*90 cm, fold it three times along the length to get a tight square. • Start the cooking process by grating the onion on the finest grater. If you start with it, and not with potatoes, then when you rub the potatoes, the vegetable will not change color (it will not darken). The onion can also be chopped in a blender. • Grate the potatoes on the finest grater, without the help of a blender. • Mix the onion and potatoes and squeeze the resulting mixture through cheesecloth. Save the potato juice, it will come in handy later. • Break an egg into the potato mixture and add salt. • Drain the juice from the bowl of potato juice - the starch will remain at the bottom: a thin layer of pale pink congealed mass. Add it back to the potato mixture. • Add some flour - it may be a little less or a little more than in the recipe, depending on how the potatoes are pressed. Knead into a soft dough: suitable for rolling into balls. • First, place a large (about 4 liter) saucepan half filled with water on the heat, and then begin shaping the dumplings. • Roll into balls about 3cm in diameter: dumplings this size will taste better than larger ones. Place the formed dumplings on a tray sprinkled with flour. • Cook the dumplings in small batches of 30. Place them in boiling salted water one at a time, do not pour them all at once. Once all the dumplings are immersed in water, stir them carefully so that none stick to the bottom, reduce the heat (the water should not boil). The dumplings should not be cooked for long: about two minutes after they float to the surface. • Remove the dumplings carefully with a slotted spoon, a few at a time.
