Do not confuse carols (folk songs) with carols (songs of religious (church) content) - dedicated to one of the most important Christian holidays - Christmas. Carols appeared, in which archaic motifs and images were intertwined with biblical ones (birth, life, torment, death and resurrection of Christ). A special place is occupied by church carols of authorial, book origin (Silent Night, Holy Night; New joy has become; and others). According to H. Luzhnytskyi, "with carols, the history of Ukrainian theater enters the phase of the so-called magic of the word. The spirit of primitive man's imagination was mythical and magical, and carols in their genesis are primitive magical formulas, where the conjurer is an actor, because during spell, he plays the role of the future self, or higher power."

На самом же деле примитивными украинцы тысячу лет назад или во времена Трипольской культуры явно не были, возможно, наоборот, именно календарно-обрядовое творчество и было тем источником, откуда наши Предки черпали вдохновение к высокомастерскому гончарству, кузнечному делу, написанию писанок и тому подобное. Колядки появились еще в календаре (который тогда назывался Колом) в языческое время и связаны с днем зимнего солнцестояния, которое называли праздником Коляды, или коротышки. По одной из легенд, в этот день Солнце съедает змей Коротышка. Всесильная богиня Коляда в днепровских водах рожала новое солнце – маленького Божича. Язычники пытались оградить новорожденного. Они прогоняли Коротана, который стремился съесть новое Солнце, а затем ходили от дома в дом, чтобы известить людей о рождении нового Солнца.

Carols and Christmas carols were extremely popular ritual songs among the people. Carols are sung from December 25 to January 7. They were timed to Christmas. And donations - before the New Year (according to the old style - January 14).
Christmas carols are the oldest folklore genre. They preserve the memory of the old tribal era and are associated with the winter turning of the sun into summer, which was called the holiday of Kolyada. It was celebrated on December 25 (old style), when the night was the longest. Nature seemed to freeze at this time. It was believed that the sun was eaten by the evil Korochun - a dark Slavic deity. The goddess of the sky Kolyada was giving birth to a new sun, a little Bozhich.
