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.
I sow, I sow, I sow
Happy New Year,
With cattle, with a stomach,
With wheat, with oats!
Carolers were invited into the house, seated at an elegant table and treated to treats. The grains scattered by the carolers were all gathered together, stored, and in the spring they were the first to be thrown into the ground, hoping that they would provide a good harvest.
One figure could represent death. Her face was smeared with flour, teeth were inserted from turnips, she was wrapped in a sheet, she was a silent figure. And no one wanted to play just this figure. And she was chosen by lot. She was completely static - she was started, put on the bench and she did not have to do anything. In addition, there were "other" categories in relation to the sacred world. For example, a blacksmith. Blacksmithing has long been considered a very sacred profession.
