February is famous for two holidays, namely Valentine's Day and Maslenitsa (Fashanque). What features of the local traditions of the celebration can be noted?
February 14 - Valentine's Day. This holiday is celebrated in Slovakia as elsewhere, but this day is considered a semblance of "Friendship Day". Slovaks give gifts not only to their beloved ones, but also to their faithful friends.
At the end of February (usually 20 - 25) in Slovakia, Maslenitsa is celebrated, which is known as Fashank. The locals love to eat their fill, so the tables are filled with freshly prepared pastries, pancakes, numerous sausages and a variety of Slovak cheeses. In some cities, ancient rituals still live. For example, people may gather and walk around the house, singing carols. For the farewell to winter, it is customary to perform an unusual dance with sabers. Fashanque is a fun holiday.
