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.

In fact, Ukrainians were clearly not primitive a thousand years ago or at the time of the Trypil culture, perhaps on the contrary, it was calendar-ritual creativity that was the source from which our ancestors drew inspiration for highly skilled pottery, blacksmithing, writing Easter cards, etc. Christmas carols appeared in the calendar (which was then called Kol) in pagan times and are associated with the day of the winter solstice, which was called the holiday of Kolyada, or korotun. According to one of the legends, on this day the Sun eats the snake Korotun. In the waters of the Dnieper, the all-powerful goddess Kolyada gave birth to a new sun - little Bozhich. Pagans tried to protect the newborn. They chased away Corotun, who wanted to eat the new Sun, and then went from house to house to inform people about the birth of the new Sun.

Мифология не исчезает никогда. Пока будет существовать Вселенная, пока мы будем верить чудесам, будет развито у нас это мифологическое представление. Оно совершенно трансформировано, совершенно видоизменено. Но какие-то элементы хранятся. И они производятся, предстают в новой ипостаси. Ничего никуда не пропадает, оно просто модифицируется. От древних тотемных верований мы перешли к христианским, впоследствии пришел советский миф, который изменился на современное видение. На самом деле нам хочется верить в чудо, верить в сказку, нам хочется видеть те подарки, за то, что мы были вежливыми мальчиками и девочками, то Святой Николай принесет нам подарочки, или резочки, если мы были невежливыми.
