What can you do on “Teschiny Vecherni”
February 24 – Friday – Mother-in-law evening. On this day, mothers-in-law go to visit their sons-in-law. The tables are laid, of course, by their wives. Sons-in-law should please the guest: with jokes, stories, courting and compliments. Before going on a visit, the son-in-law sent an invitation to the mother-in-law in advance. It was supposed to be done on Wednesday at Lakomka, when the son-in-law came to his mother-in-law, treated himself to pancakes and invited a relative to pay him a return visit. It happened that the relationship between mother-in-law and son-in-law was difficult. Then the mother-in-law could come to visit without an invitation. The son-in-law considered such an act as a step towards reconciliation. On the eve of “Mother-in-law’s evenings”, the mother-in-law sent her son-in-law kitchen utensils for making pancakes: frying pans, bowls, a ladle, etc. The father-in-law also contributed by sending milk, sour cream, pancake toppings and other products to the daughter’s husband. The son-in-law always gave a gift to his mother-in-law on Maslenitsa and tried his best to please her. His wife baked pancakes and prepared the festive table. After the feast, the relatives warmly said goodbye, spoke warm words to each other. They exchanged hugs and kisses as they left.
