In Finland, Shrovetide took on a new meaning after the Reformation started by the German Martin Luther (1483-1546) from ca 1520 on. In the rural calendar, it marked the date by which many springtime tasks and duties, like spinning etc, should be brought to conclusion.
Nowadays Shrovetide is more of a secular festival season, a time for winter sport enthusiasts as well as for feasts of fatty foods, although the Lenten fasting ritual is not practiced among the Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran Church.
On Shrove Tuesday, children in many kindergartens and schools are taken to spend the day tobogganing, ice skating or cross-country or downhill skiing.
Many organizations arrange outdoor winter carnivals with sleigh riding, tobogganing, ice skating or skiing and serving food like pea soup, barbecued sausages, crêpes and hot cocoa to keep you warm. These carnivals take place on Shrove Sunday.
In the old agrarian days a whole village, kids and grownups alike, would attend a tobogganing event — it was believed that the farther your sled would slide, the taller the flax and bigger the rutabagas and turnips would grow that year.
