Why New Year and Christmas are associated with the Sun If we talk about traditional Christmas, we need to look back to ancient pre-Christian times, when it was believed that the world was born at this time. That is, the world dies in one form, is born in another - the New Year is born. At Christmas, since ancient times, it was believed that such religious holidays were connected with the cycles of the solstice. Christmas, Christmas is the winter solstice. It was believed that the border between the worlds narrows to such an extent that it becomes so thin that a transition from one world to another is possible.
Мифология не исчезает никогда. Пока будет существовать Вселенная, пока мы будем верить чудесам, будет развито у нас это мифологическое представление. Оно совершенно трансформировано, совершенно видоизменено. Но какие-то элементы хранятся. И они производятся, предстают в новой ипостаси. Ничего никуда не пропадает, оно просто модифицируется. От древних тотемных верований мы перешли к христианским, впоследствии пришел советский миф, который изменился на современное видение. На самом деле нам хочется верить в чудо, верить в сказку, нам хочется видеть те подарки, за то, что мы были вежливыми мальчиками и девочками, то Святой Николай принесет нам подарочки, или резочки, если мы были невежливыми.
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.
