What is the symbol of “Bun Barekendan” and what kind of traditions have reached us?

According to tradition, in the earthly life the days of Adam and Eve spent in the Garden of Eden remind of the Shrove days.

This is a preparatory holiday: people amuse themselves, enjoy their time, and beginning from the next day the period of spiritual and body purity, the Lent, begins. The day preceding it is called “Bun Barekendan” (Shrovetide).
