В древности люди не могли понять, как человек берет железо, которое твердо, крепко и с помощью огня превращает его в другие предметы. Это был очень сакральный образ. Поэтому у нас есть фамилии, связанные с лексемой "кузнец" самые распространенные во всем мире. В украинском языке – Коваль, Коваленко, Ковальчук и так далее. В России – Кузнецов, в Польше – Ковальские, в Германии – Шмидт, в Англии – Смит. Это все связано с кузнечным делом, потому что это самая сакральная профессия на земле. Вспомните, к примеру, сказки. Где кузнец идет к Змею, чтобы перековать голос, потому что именно кузнец может перековать.
One of the beliefs leads us to the cult of ancestors, which is prominently featured in Christmas rituals. On "Holy Eve" (Christmas Eve), the evening dinner, consisting, in the Lubensk district, mainly of kuti and uzvar (dried fruit decoction), has a family and, in particular, memorial character: kuti is left for the night for deceased relatives; according to popular belief, vague reflections of small, doll-like people descending to the table can be seen on the wall. The ancient Slavs met the New Year with songs, dances, jokes of the dressed-up people, funny pranks. This cycle of rites received the general name - carols. Caroled in Russia since December 25. They dressed up in leather, put on scary masks, went from house to house, sang songs. It was still dark, on the early New Year's morning, there was a knock on the door or window. The owners already guessed who was knocking and opened the door hospitably. Guests entered the house, scattering bread grains around the house and chanting:
We also have an oak - a sacred tree - the Perun tree. In the same way, among the ancient Germanic peoples, it was the Tree of Thor. And therefore, we have such assimilation - a Christmas tree appears from different layers of culture. According to legend, the Christmas tree as a symbol of Christmas appears allegedly in the 7th century, when Saint Boniface, in Germany, cut down an ancient tree of the pagans - the Tree of Thor, that oak rolled down and felled all the trees, and only the Christmas tree was not felled. And then Boniface said that the fir tree is a symbol of God, it has a triangular shape, and he tied it to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
