A week after Kolyada (Christmas) on December 31 (according to the Russian Orthodox Church) or January 13 (according to the Russian Orthodox Church), the Generous Evening was celebrated, timed to meet the New Year.
The main event of the Generous Evening and the New Year in Ukraine was giving, which was accompanied by a mandatory round of houses to wish people happiness, health and well-being in the New Year. Christmas carols begin to be sung exactly at midnight before the New Year. They should not be mixed with carol singing. At a time when carols are always and necessarily sung by a choir, then shdervkas can be performed solo.

In addition, in pre-Christian times, such events required a certain sacrifice. In ancient times, when human sacrifices had already been abandoned, it was necessary to sacrifice what was valuable to God. And cattle were valuable at that time. And thus we proceed to the rite of "driving the goat". That is, cattle were sacrificed, which was then replaced by baking cookies in the form of Christmas cattle. Why in ancient times carolers were associated with the afterlife At this time, the border between the worlds becomes so thin that there is a transition between them. It is also connected with honoring the dead. On the one hand, the dead were treated with tremendous respect and honor, as if they welcomed this transition. On the other hand, it is a little scary. We had to somehow protect ourselves from them.

Очень популярными обрядовыми песнями были в народе колядки и щедривки. Колядки поют с 25 декабря по 7 января. Они приурочились к Рождеству. А щедривки – к Новому году (по старому стилю –14 января).
Колядки – самый древний фольклорный жанр. Они хранят в себе память старого родоплеменного времени и связаны с зимним поворотом солнца на лето, которое называли праздником Коляды. Праздновали его 25 декабря (по старому стилю), когда ночь была самой длинной. Природа в это время замирала. Считалось, что солнце съедал злой Корочун – темное славянское божество. Богиня неба Коляда рожала новое солнце-маленького Божича.
