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."
From the beginning, these groups were all male, given that this ritual involves contact with death. Accordingly, women did not participate in it. We can already see how children and women carol. In fact, only men could do it. But, considering that this holiday is combined with the sun, the groups could not walk around the village chaotically. They followed the sun, and if it was a mountainous area, for example, the Carpathians, then they walked from below in a circle, climbing and going around each house. If the carolers did not enter a house, it means that a dead person's foot could be there, and this was a bad sign and they were very offended.
Свет, который ежегодно дарит людям Солнце Коляды, - это питающая, всепобеждающая мощь Творца, зовущая с древнейших времен и по сей час на Святый ужин, где двери для всех открыты, где столы для всех накрыты". (В.Войтович, Сокол- Род, 1997) Для провозглашения Бога-Творца народ создал огромное количество торжественных гимнов-песен о сотворении мира, почитании Солнца, Луны, Богини Дани и их потомков-людей - колядок и щедровок. Заметим, что колядки почти никогда, а щедривки никогда не пекут днем – ими величают Праздник Щедрого вечера, Луны и Звезды. Это праздник веры в Свет, чтобы люди жили лучше, чтобы земля лучше родила, чем в прошлом году, чтобы будущие дети и внуки Рода жили веселее.
