And after that, the Christmas meal began. At the same time, it was necessarily taken into account that the souls of deceased ancestors can come to the house on this day. So many utensils were placed on the table, but it was not possible to use sharp objects, taking into account those people who died this year, or, for example, as the war is now, taking into account those who are currently on the road, somewhere far away. Later, this tradition began to change. Each new religion tries to either destroy the previous one, or level it, or conquer it. We are seeing a transformation. Instead of the Sun, we have the Star of Bethlehem. Accordingly, carolers already go with Zora, not with Sonechka. Instead of pre-Christian carols, we have Christian carols. The Saints appear, the same kutya and twelve dishes appear, symbolizing initially the number of months, and later the number of Saints.

The Christmas tree was not acceptable for Ukraine for quite a long time. Since totemic times, it has been believed that certain animals or plants, trees have a genetic connection with the genus. That is why they worshiped animals and trees. And the Christmas tree and the pine tree, as evergreen trees, symbolized immortality, and that is why it is customary in our country to plant a pine tree on the grave, because it seems to have a connection with the afterlife on the one hand, and on the other - resurrection - a symbol of immortality, a symbol of eternal life. "Podnyak", as a rule, was a fruit tree. And the Scandinavian peoples had oak.

С самого начала эти группы были чисто мужские, учитывая, что этот ритуал предполагает контакт со смертью. Соответственно, женщины не участвовали в этом. Это уже сейчас мы видим как и детки колядующие, так и женщины. На самом деле это могли делать только мужчины. Но, учитывая, что этот праздник связан и с солнцем, группы не могли ходить по селу хаотично. Они ходили именно за солнцем, а если это была горная местность, например Карпаты, то они шли снизу по кругу, поднимаясь и обходя каждый дом. Если колядники не заходили в какой-нибудь дом, то это значит туда могла стать нога мертвеца, а это было глупым знаком и на них очень обижались.
