When a Christmas tree appeared in homes A long time ago, many peoples of the world worshiped trees. Especially among the southern Slavs, Christmas was necessarily accompanied by a "podniak" - a log, in which the owner solemnly, with all the sacrifices - asked for forgiveness for having to cut down this tree, sprinkled this stump with grain, smeared it with dough, and then brought it to the house, where he was ceremoniously burned. These moments probably initiated the later use of the Christmas tree. So, gradually we come to today's ritual - the use of a Christmas tree.
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.
One figure could represent death. Her face was smeared with flour, teeth were inserted from turnips, she was wrapped in a sheet, she was a silent figure. And no one wanted to play just this figure. And she was chosen by lot. She was completely static - she was started, put on the bench and she did not have to do anything. In addition, there were "other" categories in relation to the sacred world. For example, a blacksmith. Blacksmithing has long been considered a very sacred profession.
