Bun Barekendan


Word Barekendan derives from the two roots – “bari” which means “good” and “kendan” or “kendani” which means “alive” or “living”. As all holidays Barekendan also has its sacrament. Besides the festive celebrations and feasts it has spiritual counsel. As the Great Lent begins the day after Barekendan, it is the final call for people to be uninhabited in their actions prior to the start of fasting. The holiday is transformed to a masquerade spreading fairy happy mood over people. In this regard the holiday is often compared with other festive days but the most consonant one is “Fat Tuesday” or “Pancake Day” which is celebrated in several countries. It coincides with the eve of the Great Lent and presents a day of joy and revelry, games and competitions.
