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.
In addition, in pre-Christian times, such events required a certain sacrifice. In ancient times, when human sacrifices had already been abandoned, it was necessary to sacrifice what was valuable to God. And cattle were valuable at that time. And thus we proceed to the rite of "driving the goat". That is, cattle were sacrificed, which was then replaced by baking cookies in the form of Christmas cattle. Why in ancient times carolers were associated with the afterlife At this time, the border between the worlds becomes so thin that there is a transition between them. It is also connected with honoring the dead. On the one hand, the dead were treated with tremendous respect and honor, as if they welcomed this transition. On the other hand, it is a little scary. We had to somehow protect ourselves from them.
With the advent of Christianity, the birth of Jesus Christ began to be celebrated on December 25 (old style) or January 7 (new style). The ancient pagan rite was timed to one of the greatest Christian holidays - Christmas. New religious carols with biblical and Christian images appeared. They have gained the same popularity as the old carols.
