This is a pagan holiday which celebrates a feast on pancakes/alcohol before lent starts.
It also includes a fight of the “slim” man and the “fat” man, in which the winner tells what kind of spring it will be, and the burning of witches to get rid of winter. Everyone dresses up like gypsies, wears masks, dances around, and eats a lot. It is a beautiful day, and people are actually SMILING! In my
Always this holiday is celebrating on Jonas hill first Sunday before official Pancake day.
