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.

Существует гипотеза, что название праздника - "коляда" - и песен - "колядки" происходит от названия Нового года в Древнем Риме (Calendae lanuarie), что свидетельствует о тесных контактах украинско-славянской культуры с греческо-римской в предхристианские времена. Своеобразным "воспоминанием" о весенней новогодней обрядности является в украинском фольклоре весенняя тематика многих колядок и щедривок Ф.Колесса, например, считает, что аутентичным названием зимних величественных песен на украинских территориях была собственно "щедровка". Уже в XIX веке существенные отличия между колядками и щедривками по тематике фактически исчезли (В.Гнатюк).

When Zorya came down, the celebration began. At this time, they first brought Didukh into the house. Under the table, under the tablecloth, under the dish - kutyu - they put straw, this straw woman, which in the current interpretation already symbolizes the manger in which Christ was born. And originally, it was probably a symbol of grain, a rich harvest. Garlic cloves were placed on the corners of the table - amulets against evil spirits. It all started with Didukh. No one sat down at the table until the father brought this Grandfather into the house.
