The group of winter calendar songs consists of carols and Christmas songs. These are majestic songs of Ukrainian farmers, related to the Proto-Slavic cult of the Sun. The ancestors of Ukrainians celebrated three phases of the sun - spring equinox, summer and winter solstice. The New Year began for the ancient Slavs from the vernal equinox (as, after all, in other European nations). Only later, the celebration of the beginning of the new year was moved to the time of the winter solstice (somewhere from the 14th century). There is a hypothesis that the very name of the holiday - "carol" - and the songs - "carols" comes from the name of the New Year in Ancient Rome (Calendae lanuarie), which indicates close contacts of Ukrainian-Slavic culture with Greco-Roman in pre-Christian times. In Ukrainian folklore, a peculiar "memory" of the spring New Year's ritual is the spring theme of many carols and Christmas carols. For example, F. Koless believes that the authentic name of the winter majestic songs in Ukrainian territory was actually "carols". Already in the 19th century, significant differences between carols and Christmas carols in terms of subject matter actually disappeared (V. Hnatiuk).

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.

И после этого начиналась уже рождественская трапеза. При этом обязательно учитывалось, что в этот день в дом могут прийти души умерших предков. На столе ставили столько приборов, но нельзя было использовать острые предметы, с учетом тех людей, которые умерли в этом году, или, например, как война ныне, то с учетом тех, кто находится сейчас в пути, где-то далеко. Впоследствии эта традиция стала меняться. Каждая новая религия пытается либо уничтожить предыдущую, либо нивелировать, либо покорить. Мы видим трансформацию. Вместо Солнца у нас появляется Вифлеемская Заря. Соответственно, колядники уже ходят с Зарей, а не с Солнышком. Вместо дохристианских колядок у нас появляются христианские. Появляются Святые, появляется та же кутья и двенадцать блюд, символизирующие первично – число месяцев, а уже позже – число Святых.
