The last day of Pancake Week is called Forgiveness Sunday. Christians go to church services, and then ask for forgiveness for everything that they did wrong, even for cases when they did not want it. On this holiday, each person can cleanse his soul of heavy thoughts, free himself from acts that weighed upon him, improve relations with family and friends on the eve of Great Lent. On Forgiveness Sunday, you can not only personally ask for forgiveness, but also send pictures or poems on the Internet, as well as give a postcard with sincere words to those people who are really dear.

On the last Sunday of Maslenitsa, Orthodox Christians are trying to apologize to everyone who has been offended. Before the beginning of Great Lent, every person wants to be cleansed, free from the weight of sad thoughts. Grievances that are inflicted on loved ones, even involuntarily, burden, catch up with sadness and lead to melancholy. A good option to congratulate relatives and friends on Forgiveness Sunday and ask for an apology is short verses or a few words in prose. Even a couple of lines written from the heart will melt the ice of misunderstanding, help to get forgiveness of those people who have been badly offended in the past.
On the last Sunday before Lent, it is customary to apologize to everyone, not just those with whom conflicts have occurred. After the service in the church, parishioners say to each other: "Forgive me!" and they hear in response: "God will forgive, and I forgive."
In 2020, Forgiveness Sunday is celebrated on March 1st.
