Family Shrovetide
Both in the Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox tradition, Shrove Tuesday is the eve of the first day of Lent. This is the last day when you can still eat rich foods and take part in loud and boisterous social activities. The Estonian Open Air Museum invites you to explore the customs of Shrove Tuesday and Maslenitsa on three separate days. Make sure to visit the museum on all the three occasions to learn about the similarities and differences between the Shrove Tuesday foods, games, and other traditions of Estonians, Setos and Old Believers.
