Существует гипотеза, что название праздника - "коляда" - и песен - "колядки" происходит от названия Нового года в Древнем Риме (Calendae lanuarie), что свидетельствует о тесных контактах украинско-славянской культуры с греческо-римской в предхристианские времена. Своеобразным "воспоминанием" о весенней новогодней обрядности является в украинском фольклоре весенняя тематика многих колядок и щедривок Ф.Колесса, например, считает, что аутентичным названием зимних величественных песен на украинских территориях была собственно "щедровка". Уже в XIX веке существенные отличия между колядками и щедривками по тематике фактически исчезли (В.Гнатюк).
According to another legend, the Christmas tree was introduced into use by Martin Luther, who was walking through the forest at Christmas and saw a star shining above the Christmas tree, which seemed to him to be absolutely identical to the Star of Bethlehem, and he put that Christmas tree in his home and decorated it with a star. This is how the Christmas tree allegedly came to Western Europe. And later, in the 19th century, it was borrowed by France, later taken over by England, it even stood in the Windsor Palace, and later German immigrants who moved to America also brought a Christmas tree. Initially, when the Christmas tree appeared, it was decorated with fruits, apples, for example, which symbolize the same Original Sin of Adam and Eve.
Themes, melodies, the form of carols and carols, and caroling customs show signs of deep antiquity. It is the walking of a group of carolers with a certain role distribution, and sometimes with instrumental accompaniment, that suggests a similarity with groups of merry buffoons of the princely era. The themes of carols and charity songs are agriculture and the family - its life and well-being (other themes occupy a relatively small place: military-hunting, fantasy-fairy tale, love, biblical motifs). All these songs of majestic content are sung specifically to the master, the mistress, the servant, the girl.
