No holiday or festive event in Russia could do without porridge or kasha in Russian. We will tell you where the Russian expression "to make porridge" came from. For example, about the wedding of Alexander Nevsky which had the following description: "The Prince was married in Trinity, one porridge was made there, and another one was made in Novgorod". That's what a wedding feast was called - porridge (kasha).

In the Russian wedding ritual tradition the symbolism of "red", festive pancakes is manifested in episodes of farewell of the bride to her friends and her former, maiden life.
