Сейчас в Украине зима ассоциируется, прежде всего, с колядками, которые поют на праздник Рождества Христова (6-8 января по новому стилю). Но когда колядки были языческими песнями, с которыми Православная Церковь сначала вела безуспешную борьбу, запрещала их. Однако очень устойчивыми оказались в Украине обряды Коляды, во многом отмеченные чертами языческих верований, напоминающих как о почитании новорожденного солнца, так и о культе предков.

As a rudiment of ancient magical rituals, carols and bounties called on the gods (pagan "Oy Dazhdbozhe!", transformed into "Oh God!") to give the master (or mistress, servant, girl) good health and economic prosperity (which in ancient times was the obverse and reverse of the same medal), associated with a good harvest, favorable conditions for cultivating the land, profits for the lord (especially livestock).
