Do not confuse carols (folk songs) with carols (songs of religious (church) content) - dedicated to one of the most important Christian holidays - Christmas. Carols appeared, in which archaic motifs and images were intertwined with biblical ones (birth, life, torment, death and resurrection of Christ). A special place is occupied by church carols of authorial, book origin (Silent Night, Holy Night; New joy has become; and others). According to H. Luzhnytskyi, "with carols, the history of Ukrainian theater enters the phase of the so-called magic of the word. The spirit of primitive man's imagination was mythical and magical, and carols in their genesis are primitive magical formulas, where the conjurer is an actor, because during spell, he plays the role of the future self, or higher power."

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.

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.
