From the beginning, carolers symbolized the dead who followed the sun, and kutya was a symbol of honoring ancestors. The head of the department of folkloristics of the Institute of Philology of the Kyiv National University named after T. Shevchenko, associate professor Olesya Naumovska, told about this on the air of Radio Kultura. She also told why carolers, according to tradition, change clothes, and when New Year's trees appeared in homes.

Отдельное место занимают церковные коляды авторского, книжного происхождения (Тихая ночь, Святая ночь; Новая радость стала; и другие). По словам Г.Лужницкого, "с колядками история украинского театра входит в фазу т.н. магии слова. Дух воображения примитивного человека был митический и магический, а колядки по своей генезе — это первоначальные магические формулы, где заклинатель является актером, потому что во время заклинание он играет роль будущего "я" или высшей силы".

Why carolers dress up as animals, foreigners and otherworldly creatures According to the idea of ancient people, the other world is, as it were, this world turned upside down. And accordingly, the representatives of that world are the same as us, but a little different. And accordingly, the carolers changed their clothes according to categories - "alien", otherworldly. It could not be a person, but an animal, that's how those animal images appeared in groups of carolers. It could be "strangers" by category - foreigner, that's how we have, for example, "German". These may not be people, but in general – demonic beings, so the carolers wrapped their hands with straw, stood on stilts or, conversely, squatted down, spoke in very deep, low voices, or, on the contrary, very squeaky.
