Themes, melodies, the form of carols and carols, and caroling customs show signs of deep antiquity. It is the walking of a group of carolers with a certain role distribution, and sometimes with instrumental accompaniment, that suggests a similarity with groups of merry buffoons of the princely era. The themes of carols and charity songs are agriculture and the family - its life and well-being (other themes occupy a relatively small place: military-hunting, fantasy-fairy tale, love, biblical motifs). All these songs of majestic content are sung specifically to the master, the mistress, the servant, the girl.

Посыпание зерном, после выполнения щедровки, всегда производится с прибауткой:
”К счастью, на здоровье! Роды Боже, рожь, пшеницу и всякую пашницу! А нам – паляницу”.
По содержанию, характеру и назначению щедровки являются панегирично-величательные новогодние поздравления. Они как бы приложение к Колядкам и представляют собой неотделимую часть рождественского пения.
Традиционные рождественско-новогодние обряды, колядки и щедривки – это настоящая сокровищница нашего народа, которую нужно глубоко познавать.

A week after Christmas Eve, on December 31 (January 13), the Generous Evening was celebrated (the day of the Christian saint Reverend Melania). This day was also called Melanka. According to tradition, the celebration was accompanied by going round the houses to wish people happiness, health and well-being in the New Year. They were also generous with theatrical groups: "Melanka" and "Vasyl" and "Ryazheni". If you compare Christmas carols and Christmas carols ("Chedryk, Chedryk, Chedryvochka, a swallow has flown in"), then the swallows, spring, sowing of rye are mentioned in the carols. This indicates that the ancient Slavs celebrated the beginning of the New Year in the spring.
