Subsequently, with the introduction of the Christian religion as a state religion in Russia (the so-called "baptism of Russia"), the rite of caroling was adapted to the celebration of Christmas. Priests and monks created new religious carols with biblical images, which also gained great popularity among the people. Prominent composers undertook the processing and restoration of carols: Mykola Lysenko, Stanislav Lyudkevich, and others. In carols, according to tradition, all members of the family were honored: the master, the mistress, the boyfriend, the girlfriend. The caroling was combined with a corresponding theatrical performance, dances, and music. They caroled in groups, having previously distributed responsibilities: chieftain "birch", "star", "mihonosha" and "ryajeni". Metropolitan Vasyl Lypkivskyi described Christmas carols as follows in his Christmas sermon "The Meaning of Christmas Carols":
Наши далекие предки пытались защитить новорожденного. Они выполняли разные магические действия, ставшие основой народного праздника Коляды. До сих пор колядники ходят с солнцесветной "с" видзой", что символизирует небесное светило. Как только на небе восходила заря, колядники заходили во двор, будили хозяина и пели его семье величественных песен о солнце, луне, звезде. Эти величественные песни в честь рождения нового Солнца стали называть колядами или колядками.
