Congratulations on Maslenitsa and Forgiven Sunday in your own words, funny and heartfelt poems

Maslenitsa is an ancient Slavic holiday that symbolizes the departure of winter and is celebrated before Lent. Shrovetide Week will end on Sunday, March 2, with Forgiveness Sunday. On this day, it is customary to bake pancakes for the last time and ask each other for forgiveness. Izvestia has prepared beautiful postcards and greetings that you can send to your loved ones on the holiday.

Happy Carnival: funny greetings in prose

The easiest way to congratulate on Shrovetide is to send a short greeting with warm wishes in messengers or social networks. Here are examples of congratulations in prose in your own words and in verse:

"Congratulations on Shrovetide, a wonderful celebration of spring and family comfort! Let the ruddy juicy pancake with fragrant honey become a symbol of happiness and well-being. May every day be filled with joy, like bright pancakes on a festive table. Happy holidays!"

"Soon the snow will melt outside and the sun will shine brightly. Let's have fun spending the winter and celebrate spring with lush pancakes and noisy festivities. Let all the problems melt away like butter in a frying pan, and life will be as sweet as honey on your lips. Happy Carnival!"

"Today we celebrate a wonderful holiday — Maslenitsa! This time charges us with kindness, positivity and joy. And even if pancake week doesn't last long, I wish that this boost of energy would be enough for you for a whole year. Happiness and warmth in every moment on this spring holiday!"

"Happy Carnival! I wish your life to be as rich and varied as pancake recipes, and happiness pours out like powdered sugar! And remember that if life throws you lemons, make them into a pancake filling!"

"Congratulations on Shrovetide! Let there be a lot of interesting toppings in life, as in pancakes, every day will be satisfying and fun, and everything goes like clockwork. And of course, a good spoonful of luck, so that there is no tar in your barrel of honey, and all failures melt like snow under the rays of the sun."

Short funny poems with Carnival — 2025

"We are waiting for you on Shrovetide!
We'll meet you with a buttered pancake,
Tea, honey, and a roll
Yes, with cabbage pie.
And the day of Forgiveness will come,
We are not too lazy to bow down,
We will be together on Sunday
We ask for forgiveness for everything,
To remove all sins from the soul,
To meet fasting with a pure heart."

"For both breakfast and dinner, eat delicious pancakes.
And for eating so that
Not feeling guilty.
Don't get any better,
To receive pleasure.
I wish you good luck on Shrovetide
It's very tasty and satisfying to live!"

"Goodbye, winter! Spring is coming!
We'll take a piece of the sun,
In honor of the awakening of nature
We'll bake fluffy pancakes!
You should meet the guests soon,
Treat me to pancakes with honey.
And then this year you
Incomparably lucky!"

"Like in Shrove Tuesday
Pancakes were flying on the tables!
From the heat, from the heat, from the oven,
All blush, hot!
Carnival, treat me!
Serve pancakes to everyone!
Come and take it apart,
Don't forget to praise!"

"We have to do everything in time —
And dance, and sing a song!
Eat a basket of pies!
Yes, with three boxes of pancakes!
So what if we sinned
We drank a lot and ate delicious food.
Let's let go of these sins
We're on Forgiveness Sunday!"

Congratulations on the Forgiven Sunday: in your own words

Congratulations are also accepted on the Forgiven Resurrection. Instead of the standard phrase "forgive me", you can send a small message that reflects the essence and spiritual meaning of this important holiday:

"The last day of Maslenitsa has come. After a satisfying week and plenty of space, it's time to reflect on your actions and ask each other for forgiveness. Let all the misunderstandings and quarrels remain in the past, and harmony and mutual understanding await us ahead."

"Happy Sunday! I wish that there is always a place for kindness and sincerity in your life. May your every step be accompanied by light and joy, and the coming period will be a time for new beginnings and happy transformations."

"Congratulations on the Forgiven Sunday! This day symbolizes the beginning of Great Lent and the importance of forgiveness in our lives. I sincerely wish you harmony and a peaceful time filled with kind thoughts and deeds. May every day bring new opportunities and discoveries!"

"On this special day, the Forgiven Sunday, I want to express my best wishes. May forgiveness be the key to a new life and successful endeavors for you. I wish you well-being, wisdom in decision-making, and joy every day."

"Happy Sunday! On this bright day, I would like to ask for forgiveness for involuntary insults and wish kindness, happiness, small unexpected joys, more bright colors in life and, of course, good health!"

"On Forgiven Sunday, I ask you to forgive me for all the offenses that offended or disappointed you. I give you my forgiveness. May God protect you from troubles and give you health and prosperity."

"Happy Sunday! From the bottom of my heart, I apologize for all the words and actions that could offend you. May peace and tranquility reign in your soul. Let the new day begin with a clean slate, and all grievances will dissolve in the warm spring air."

Soulful poems with a Forgiven Sunday — 2025

"On the day of the Forgiven Sunday
I sincerely apologize!
You don't have to keep trash in your heart,
Grudges need to be let go!
Let every particle of the soul sparkle with goodness and joy,
So that evil may never be in the world
It didn't come to your heart!"

"Let forgiveness be like a flame,
Burns away evil and the burden of resentment.
Don't let a stone weigh on your heart, don't let your soul hurt anymore.
I will absolve you of all sins,
And I'm sorry for everything!"

"Once a year, a day is given,
So that we realize our sins.
Forgiveness will flow from heaven,
Like these humble poems.
I apologize today
For everything that happened to sin,
For the unpleasant moments
Please forgive me."

"Happy Sunday, congratulations,
Forgive me, and I forgive you!
Let our grievances sink into Oblivion,
Our hearts shine with joy and light!"

Forgiveness Sunday: what they say to each other, what they should answer

Asking for forgiveness on Forgiveness Sunday is a long—standing Christian tradition. But even people who are far from the church try to reconcile with everyone with whom they had a quarrel. They usually say on a holiday: "Forgive me" — and they answer: "God will forgive you, and I forgive you."

By asking for forgiveness, a person frees himself from heavy thoughts, worries, and resentments, releasing his inner energy. However, repentance should not be for show, but sincere. Then all the insults will remain in the past and will not hinder further communication.
