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.
Carols and Christmas carols were extremely popular ritual songs among the people. Carols are sung from December 25 to January 7. They were timed to Christmas. And donations - before the New Year (according to the old style - January 14).
Christmas carols are the oldest folklore genre. They preserve the memory of the old tribal era and are associated with the winter turning of the sun into summer, which was called the holiday of Kolyada. It was celebrated on December 25 (old style), when the night was the longest. Nature seemed to freeze at this time. It was believed that the sun was eaten by the evil Korochun - a dark Slavic deity. The goddess of the sky Kolyada was giving birth to a new sun, a little Bozhich.
