Laskiainen
text:
Laskiainen is the Finnish celebration of what is known in the English-speaking world as Shrove Tuesday. It is often described as a "mid-winter sledding festival". Ecclesiastically, Laskiainen is a part of Shrovetide and is a Lutheran celebration just prior to the beginning of Lent, the 40-day season of repentance in Christianity. In Northern Europe, this tradition has been practiced from at least the 7th century onward, and in Catholic countries – in the form of carnivals – even before that.
