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.

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.

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.
