Since Vyatka people have called it holy time. This multi-day holiday was divided into two parts. From January 7 to 14, on holy evenings, they sang carols and arranged fortune-telling for girls, and from January 15 to 19, they also had great fun, but they were afraid of terrible evenings - the time of rampant dark forces.
On the day of breaking the Christmas fast, the food was especially delicious. Housewives cooked piglet with porridge or boar's head with horseradish, jelly or piglet aspic. People believed that during a festive dinner the souls of deceased ancestors came to the house, and food was left on the table for them until the morning.
On Christmas night, they always turned to the stars in the night sky. If there were a lot of them, a year abundant in mushrooms and berries was expected. And in the morning they certainly carried out the ritual of “sowing the hut.” Saying the words: “For the living, for the fruitful and for health,” they threw handfuls of oats and wheat three times.
“In the Ryazan province people went in crowds under the windows asking for pies. Ahead of everyone walked a maiden called the fur-bearer; she was carrying a purse for collecting cakes; It was she who led the crowd and ordered the division of the collection.”
To the delight of the village children, figurines of cows, bulls, sheep, birds and roosters were baked in all houses. They were used to decorate tables and windows and give them to carolers.
Each family expected the carolers, prepared a treat for them and listened to the carols with sincere joy:
Carol, carol!
And sometimes carols
On the eve of Christmas.
Kolyada has arrived
Brought Christmas.
Give you Lord
In the field of nature
Hammered on the threshing floor
thicket,
On the table spore
The sour cream is thick,
The cows are milking!
Thanks for the treat:
From a good man
Rye is born good:
A spikelet of thick
The straw is empty!
Christmas omens
“Listen” to nature:
1. If there is a strong snowstorm on a holiday, it means that spring will delight you with its early arrival.
2. If the weather is clear on Christmas Day and there is no snowfall, then spring will be cold.
3. Frost on the branches at Christmas - to a rich harvest of bread.
A few "don'ts":
1. You can’t hunt on Christmas night. In Rus' they believed that killing an animal would leave a dark imprint on the entire next year of your life.
2. On Christmas it is forbidden to sew or wear old things to a festive dinner. The first ban threatens with vision problems, the second - lack of income.
3. It is impossible for a representative of the fair sex to enter the house first on Christmas Day. The male guest, stepping through the threshold first, must bring health to the residents of this house.
4. You cannot do household chores or clean up. It is forbidden to scandalize and deceive.
5. Don’t guess on the holiday itself. For this there will be a week after it and a couple of days before it.
Concluding the conversation about omens, don’t forget to decorate your house for Christmas and give gifts to your family, there is still time to prepare them... but for now we will return to fortune telling.
Christmas fortune telling On Christmas night, everything is possible, so humanity has come up with many ways to look into the future. As a rule, fortune telling is done by young girls who would like to see their fiancé.
Fortune telling with a comb. Before going to bed, you need to put a comb under your pillow and say: “Betrothed, mummer! Comb my head!” The one who dreams will become the betrothed.
Fortune telling with a boot. Throw the boot out of the window and hurry after him. Once you find it, look in which direction the toe of the boot is pointing. If the girl is from the house, the betrothed will be on that side. If towards home, there will be no marriage this year.
Fortune telling using cards. Before going to bed, you need to hide four kings from a deck of new cards under your pillow and say: “My betrothed, dream about me in a dream!” If you dream about the King of Hearts, the groom will be young and rich. If the peak is middle-aged and jealous, the diamond is the one you dream about, and if the cross is a businessman or military man :)
The best time to tell fortunes on mirrors is at midnight. Take two mirrors, place them opposite each other, light a candle. Look in the mirror straight at the end of the corridor formed by the mirrors. When the image fades and the candle loses its brightness, then the image of the betrothed will appear. You need to say: “Keep away from me!” so that your betrothed does not drag you into the mirror.
Fortune telling by a wedding ring. For ring fortune telling, you will need a glass with smooth walls, without any patterns or polishing. You need to pour three quarters of the volume of water into the glass, and lower it to the middle of the bottom wedding ring. It is believed that if you look long and closely at the middle of the ring, you can see the future groom.
carols
carols is one of the most famous Christmas traditions. They pass into the night from 6 to 7 January. At this time in Rus', carolers sang songs and could enter any house. In return, the hosts were supposed to receive the guests and give them sweets. They believed that such a custom would bring prosperity and joy.
IN holy days An empty table was considered a bad omen, so there was always a ritual kalach on it, which was treated to those who came to carol. The hospitable owners believed: the more guests gathered in their house, the better the chickens would sit on the eggs.
After a cheerful tour of the houses, the young people gathered in the hut for a common feast, where they shared and ate everything that their fellow villagers had given them. Then, dressed in new clothes, the youth danced to the tune of the pipe to avoid crop failure, listened to fairy tales and wondered about their fate.
The Christmastide period coincided with Orthodox holiday Christmas. Our ancestors believed that on Christmas night the gates to a good family life open. Therefore, on these days, fortune telling was carried out about the future. family life: about the betrothed, about the future husband and about predictions for a quick marriage. In Rus', marriage was treated with particular seriousness and responsibility, which is why fortune telling was very diverse. The most popular was fortune-telling with a mirror and a candle “The betrothed-mummer, come to me dressed up,” as well as rituals with wax on water and with a comb placed under the pillow at night. Fortune telling, like carols, created an atmosphere of Christmas fun.
If a girl pulled a smooth log out of the woodshed, this meant that her husband would be good, and if it was knotty, it meant that she would be bad. If the log is thick, the husband will be rich, and if the log is thin, the husband will be poor.
Also, the qualities of a future spouse in Rus' were determined with the help of... a rooster. The girls scattered various objects on the floor and let the rooster fly. If he ran to grain, the husband will be rich, if he ran to water, he would be a drinker, if he ran to money, he would be an avid gambler, and if he ran to ash, he would be a smoker.
Here are some of the most common Christmas superstitions that even people who are completely oblivious to signs would do well to know! After all, our ancestors rarely made mistakes, and probably had a more harmonious relationship with nature than modern people.
Our ancestors believed that if you lose any item on Christmas 2019, it means that you may face losses next year. If you find something, especially jewelry, - then unheard of wealth and a luxurious life awaits you!
If you accidentally spill tea, coffee, compote, juice or uzvar at the Christmas table, this is a sign of pleasant long-awaited news and great success for all your endeavors. BUT! This sign does not apply to alcoholic beverages.
If on Christmas Eve or Christmas night you drop a mirror and it cracks, it's a disaster. If this has already happened, then under no circumstances leave a cracked or broken mirror in the house. Carefully seal the crack (you can use a regular band-aid), wrap the mirror in a towel and throw it away.
If the weather is clear on Christmas night and there are many stars in the sky, it means that the year will be fruitful and hospitable.
Women are not allowed to do handicrafts on Christmas Day: sewing, knitting, embroidering, sewing on buttons. Otherwise, one of the family members will face illness and maybe even death next year.
Finding a spoon on the river bank after Christmas means your cherished wish will come true. Also, the shore is a symbol of stability and peace. It is possible that next year you will either start a family or solve some important family problems.
If you see a man with a hump on Christmas Day, this is a great blessing. It’s even better if you can touch his hump with at least one finger. By the way, a meeting with a large dog, a German shepherd or a Great Dane promises no less good luck. Surprisingly, if you step in manure on Christmas Day (the excrement of your favorite neighbor's dog or cat can also act as manure), it will be good luck.

If you see a mouse on Christmas night, it's very bad! Be careful when entering into new contracts, signing agreements and taking out loans. Financial losses may await you!
To believe or not to believe in omens is a personal matter for everyone. But for some reason many folk omens and clues very often come true, prophetic dreams also come true, so maybe you should listen to the spirits of your ancestors? Maybe they come to earth on Christmas Day to warn us and protect us?

The main thing is, even if you encounter some not very pleasant omen on Christmas night, remain optimistic and do not spoil your mood. In the end, and most importantly, every person is the master of his own life and the creator of his own destiny!
Christmas is one of the most ancient holidays, with many traditions, rituals and signs associated with it. Of course, today there is no longer such a reverent attitude towards the listed moments, but they are inextricably linked with the heritage of our generations: if people observed, accumulated knowledge, stored it and passed it on from generation to generation, then it is still worth paying attention to folk Christmas signs and to traditions and rituals.

Today we continue to get acquainted with the history of the holidays, traditions and customs of our people. After all, this is a source of knowledge about how in ancient times people perceived the world. We need to not only know, remember, preserve, but also be able to observe and perform these traditions and customs ourselves. We, often without realizing it, are carriers of ancient ideas about the world.

What is customary to wish each other for the New Year and Christmas? (Happiness, health, etc.).
The Nativity of Christ is celebrated especially solemnly in the church. The temple is decorated with Christmas trees and lamps are lit. This celebration lasts 12 days, until Epiphany.
What is the time from Christmas to Epiphany called? (Christmas time);
Today we will take a journey through the folk calendar. It will be about folk holiday Christmastide (Holy evenings) children's home, girlish customs and the joy of these days are closely related to the forgotten rituals of the ancients, before Christian holidays.
In ancient times, more than a thousand years ago, in honor of the winter solstice, the Slavs burned bonfires along the banks of rivers. And even before that, the ancient Egyptians and Romans celebrated at this time of year the victory of the sun over darkness and cold.
Time passed and the “Christmas holidays” became one of the most long-awaited holidays in folk calendar. All this time it was festive, mummers came to the ladies - some would turn an old sheepskin coat inside out, some would smear soot on their faces or put on a mask - from a bag, from fur. There were small performances and scenes. The people relaxed and had fun as best they could. Mandatory Christmas entertainment included masquerades, carnivals, mummers, dances, and round dances. Wealthy people organized charity dinners for the poor. At Christmas time we went to visit and received guests, visited loved ones and relatives.
What ritual of celebrating Christmas has reached our time? (Caroling)
What do you know about caroling?
Now let's look at the explanatory dictionary
caroling - go from house to house with congratulations.
carols – folk songs about Christmas.
Under the influence of the church, which for a long time did not recognize Kolyada, pagan symbols were almost squeezed out of carols and Christian symbols began to predominate. OftenWaits - those who go from house to house on Christmas Day to praise Christ shouted carols with elements of intimidation of the owners.
The owners treated the carolers with grain, concoctions: shangami, figured cookies in the shape of a horse, birds, cows, called “kozyulki”, eggs, sweets, nuts, and specially prepared a children’s delicacy “syrchiki” - balls of sweet cottage cheese with raisins, frozen on the eve of Christmas. It was believed that carolers were creatures endowed with superhuman strength, capable topics or otherwise affect the harvest, the well-being of the family, or the health of its members. And the basis of the customs of dressing up and masking is the idea of reincarnating a person into some other creature; such reincarnation had a magical effect on elemental forces. If there were small children in the house, he did not let the mummers in, fearing that they would scare the children.
After the treat, the carolers heartily thanked the owners of the house, wishing them health and prosperity.
Let's listen to how this happened in the old days. A scene using carols (Appendix 1).
Let's see if you can sing carols.
The class is divided into groups, each is given (Appendix 2)
The teacher treats everyone with sweets.
And, of course, after the generous treat, the carolers thanked the hosts and wished them happiness, prosperity, prosperity, and health.
Having collected enough food and treats after caroling, the youth went to the gathering hut. They bought her off in advance, paid two money to the hostess, one for staying, the other for silence. They placed a table in the middle, put food on it and sat in a circle. After dinner, round dances and games began.
Let's play with you too (Appendix 3)
But at Christmas time they not only had fun, but also wondered about the future, about their fate, both jokingly and seriously. 3 evenings were chosen for fortune telling: Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Epiphany Eve. Fortune telling is a ritual aimed at contacting otherworldly forces in order to obtain information about the future. The Christian Church does not allow fortune telling, but the tradition of fortune telling comes from the very depths of centuries, when people believed not in Jesus Christ, but in the gods of the Sun, Wind, and Earth.
In Rus' they wondered about everything: about life and death, about wealth and poverty, about the future harvest and betrothed. There were also a huge number of methods of fortune telling. Some guessed by candle wax poured into water, some by various herbs and flowers, and some by sounds. For example, a dog's barking indicated which side the groom would be on, and the howling and blows of an ax symbolized trouble and death. The heard clatter of horse hooves meant a long journey. Fortune telling was done by lot using household items. They ran up to the woodpile, grabbed a log, and then examined it; it would turn out to be knotty, rotten - to a bad life, smooth - to a good one. They threw a felt boot over the gate: in which direction it fell with its toe, that’s where the betrothed lives. Fortune telling with animals: rooster, chicken, cat had ritual significance. Epiphany fortune telling was accompanied by songs called podblyudnye, as they were sung during fortune telling with a saucer. It was very interesting, but a little creepy. Let's take a look (Appendix 4).
The girls guessed by a fallen shoe, by footprints in the snow, by a well, by a shadow, by the splash of water, etc. Yes, indeed, this custom is not a church one, but a home, folk one. The Church condemns superstition and does not recognize fortune telling. And the fortune tellers themselves treated Christmas fortune telling as a game.
After a long fast, the peasants had fun and feasted as best they could, rode sleighs, built snow forts and swam in ice holes. Swimming in the ice hole was customary for Epiphany (on the night of January 18-19) - the day on which, according to legend, Jesus Christ was baptized. An important moment of Epiphany was the procession to the Jordan - an ice hole in the river - for holy water. The ice hole was decorated with shards of ice, various ribbons and wooden patterns. At the same time, some bathed in ice water, washed their hands and faces with it. Epiphany was the last day of Christmastide.
And now we will conduct a quiz “Holy Evenings”

Christmas is one of the most important Christian holidays. Christmas in our lives "returned" recently. Let us celebrate Christmas today, as we celebrated it many years before us...
We still have a Christmas tree. And this is a candle. A Christmas candle is a symbol of the hearth. Many years ago, when every house had a fireplace, from Christmas Eve (day before Christmas) Over the next 12 days and nights, a Christmas log burned in the hearth. Now there are no hearths, the logs have been replaced by candles.
Christmas has long been accompanied by colorful folk customs. 12 days from January 7 to January 19 - this is the time of winter Christmastide in Rus'. carols, walking with a star, dressing up, winter fun, gatherings, fortune telling, all this accompanied the holiday Christmastide.
CAROLS– special songs with wishes for a rich harvest, health, harmony in the family. Few people know these songs now. I suggest you learn a few carols, they will still be useful to us.

Carolers they scattered oats and wheat around the house, wishing for wealth and fertility. And the owners gave gifts and treated the guests.
Mummers were indispensable participants in the Christmas holidays. They dressed up as bears, old people, devils, and parsley. The mummers were allowed to play pranks and misbehave, within reasonable limits, of course.
And our ancestors loved to have WINTER FUN in the fresh air. This includes sledding down the mountain, throwing snowballs, cockfighting on ice, tug of war, etc.
When did it come evening, all the girls went to Gatherings. They shared the rent of the hut, where during the long winter in the evenings, spun, embroidered, knitted. And they definitely sang. I suggest you learn a few ditties:
Fine a carol was sung,
Dear friends.

A little in the air.
Sat and melted
On my palm. (snowflake)

Winter: And these are my magic down jackets, if you beat them too hard, it will snow all over the ground. And the harder you beat, the harder it snows.
Presenter: Zimushka, can the guys also try to fluff up your down jackets, because they really love snow?!
Winter: Certainly! Come on, get down to business!
Game: “Whip the Down Jackets”
(two teams play: whoever hits the down jackets harder and faster wins)
Winter (at the end of the game she showers everyone with confetti): Hey, helpers, hey, funny guys!
Look how much snow they knocked out of my down jackets! Let's play in the snow!
"Snowball game"
Winter: I'm coming! I have to go, guys. Have fun, celebrate the holiday, and I will hurry to the other children (he cheerfully waves his hand and leaves) .
Presenter: So we found ourselves in a fabulous winter forest.
Like on a hill- Children raise their hands.
Snow, snow.- Shake your hands.
And under the hill- Lower your arms, leaning forward slightly.
Snow, snow.- Shake the brushes.
Like on a Christmas tree- Connect straight palms above your head under acute angle(“top of the Christmas tree”).
Snow, snow.- Shake your hands above your head.
And under the Christmas tree- Smoothly move your hands left and right, lowering them.
Snow, snow.- Shake the brushes.
A bear sleeps under the snow.- Place two palms under the cheek.
Quiet. Quiet. Keep quiet.- They threaten with their index finger.
Leading: Let's move away from the den, guys. Let's not disturb Mishka. (Children tiptoe to their seats.)
Enters the hall Fox: Hello guys! Why are you sitting so quietly? I came to wake up the Bear. He's already all New Year's celebration overslept. (Approaches the snowdrift.)
Bear, wake up! Bear, get up!
Mishka doesn't hear anything. Help me, kids!
He sleeps and doesn't hear anything. We'll wake him up.
Let's go, guys, to Mishka. Our little naughty boy is sleeping sweetly.
(Children approach the Bear, covered with a snowdrift sheet).
Game "Catch-up"
We clap our hands loudly - They clap. One two Three!
And we’ll stamp our feet like that - Stomp. One two Three!
Wake up, Mishka, - They shake their finger. Naughty Teddy Bear,
Get out of the den and catch up with the guys!
Mishka throws off the sheet and catches up with the children. They run to their places.
Bear: Why did you wake me up, didn’t you let Mishka sleep?
Fox: Misha, Christmas time has arrived. There are carols in the villages.
Bear. Carols? What is it?
Fox: Carols are fun games and treats.
Bear: Treats are good!
Bear: Meet Kolyada, treat me and Fox!
Presenter: They didn’t dance or sing, they wanted treats!
Better come with us, we’ll teach you caroling. (Everyone walks like a snake to a merry carol)
Presenter: Here you can see the house... (Santa Claus appears from the window)
Father Frost: Who is it that sings so nicely? A-it's you guys! I was going to visit you, and you yourself came, and just in time. Granddaughter, Snow Maiden, come here, guests have come to us. (The Snow Maiden does not come out).
Father Frost: Guys, apparently the Snow Maiden can’t hear me, help me call her.
Children: Snow Maiden! Snow Maiden!
Snow Maiden: I'm coming! I'm coming! (comes out of the house to the children).
Good evening, good evening!

Freeze game
(The sounds of a noise orchestra are heard from behind the door. Mummers enter the hall: Vasily leads the Goat on a long rope. One of the children is “carrying” a sled with a bag. Two devils are sneaking behind them.
Basil: Can the Goat come into your house and jump?
Children: Can!
Basil: Stand in a wider circle, I'm leading the Goat!
Where the Goat walks, it will give birth!
SONG “WHERE THE GOAT WALKS” Ukrainian folk melody
(The goat walks in a circle, bucks, stops, performs movements in accordance with the text: it stomps, then tilts its head, shows its horns, then wags its tail)
Basil: Come closer, bow lower to the Master and Mistress. (The goat approaches Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden and bows)
Snow Maiden: Hey-yes, Goat-Goat, let's pet her (the children all come up and pet the Goat. And the Devils creep up to the bag, want to take it away, take it, start dragging it).
Snow Maiden: Oh, guys, look, the devils snuck into our holiday! (Catches them, but they dodge)
Guys, help me catch them! (children quickly form a circle, a game is played)
I GRA “WILL NOT LET GO!”
Presenter: Caught by force. Come on, get into the bag!
(a bag without a bottom, the Devils climb in and run away from the bag. While the second one is being planted, the first one stands in front of the leader and so on several times)
Presenter: So what is this? How many Devils do we have at the holiday?
Father Frost: And now I’ll put things in order! (Knocks 3 times with a staff, the Devils stop and turn to the children)
Devils: Don't be afraid of the devils!
The devil has gotten better with you!
I am Sashka, and this is Taras,
They are caroling at your place today!
(The little devils laugh, take off their masks and run away to the children)
Goat:(goes to the center of the hall, stomps and speaks loudly
Oh, how I stamp my foot,
How will I instruct the sharp horn,
Where is my bag with carols?
I'll get myself some pie!
Father Frost: Clever Goat, Big eyes! It's time to give out gifts. Come on, help me, Goat!
Father Frost: Good evening, good evening!
Good people to health!
Happiness and health to everyone!
Girl: The sparrow is flying
twirls its tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables

Meet Christmas!
Presenter: The long-awaited evening has arrived, and not a simple one, but a generous one. People in their houses light candles, prepare treats, sing funny songs, and wish each other health and happiness. Let's go to the huts and sing Shchedrovka. Goodbye Snow Maiden and Father Frost! (The mummers walk, holding hands, snake around the hall and sing).
Leading. Let's go caroling to Solokha.
(children approach the house and knock on the window).
Mummers: Kolyada - molyada, she's young!
You came to the yard, brought New Year!
One, two, three, four, five - the carol went for a walk!
Come out master, come out mistress!
Receive guests from all parishes!
Nobody is answering.
Leading. Maybe Solokha is fast asleep?
Who's yelling here?
Doesn't let you sleep?
All. We are the carolers!
Solokha. And do you want to get up from a warm stove in such frost, sing and carol?
Carolers(blaspheme with a tongue). Well, you won't have any luck.
There was one cow - and she was not healthy,
there was only one rooster - and he was a busybody,
there was one mare - and she forgot God.
Suddenly a broom flies out from behind the house.
Solokha:(hands on hips). What kind of joke is this?
Solokha. I'll give you a pie! Wow! Devilry! (Shakes his fist).
A shoe flies out of the house.
Ah well! Well, my patience has run out, no Chertushko-was he buried there? Did you marvel at our treat? (He goes into the house and pulls the Devil out of it by the ear.) Here you have a good fellow with a tail and horns.
Crap: I ran and out of breath
Inhaled the smoke from the stove,
I got to you on the strength.
How glad I am, how glad I am
What did you guys see!
I love to have fun
Everybody get up for the game
Who will fall into my paws,
He will walk with me!
Playing with the Devil in traps.
Oh, how delicious and appetizing, I’ll eat you maybe for lunch, or maybe for dinner.
Solokha: Shoo, shoot, evil spirits, if you don’t want to live in friendship with us, go back to your forest! Shh! Shh! Shh!
Crap: Don’t kick me out, but let’s tell our fortunes and we’ll look into the pot.
"Divination on the pot"
Children dance in a circle: Potty, potty
Tell us friend
What will happen, what will happen?
Let the bad stay.
The devil takes out a towel.
Towel! It spreads far away... A road, a journey awaits you.
They take out a bun.
Bulka! The mouse is running in the upper room,
He drags the loaf into the house.
There will be prosperity in your home.
They take out a ring.
Ring! Sow flour, bake pies
There will be guests for you, suitors for me
They take out the tape.
Ribbon for wealth, for profit.
They take out a button.
Button! Live in a big family happy life. There is only one fortune left.
Baba Yaga runs in:
And tell your fortune for me! I want happiness too! (takes out a twig from the pot) What is this? Explain!
Crap: Looks like a new broom!
Baba Yaga:(distressed) Isn’t there a ring?
Crap: So who will marry you? How old are you?
Baba Yaga: Ah well! Oh, how are you? (disperses with a broom)
You will dance with me. Who is brave?
Game "Granny's Broom"
Presenter: Now let's play a special game with Baba Yaga.
Game "Baba Yaga's Tail"
Presenter: Somehow we started playing with evil spirits, and we forgot why we came! What will you give us, hostess?
Carolers:
Money bag or porridge pot?
A jug of milk or a piece of cake?
Pennies for candy?
Whoever serves the pie gets his belly's yard.
And whoever doesn’t give a penny, we’ll plug all the loopholes.
And whoever doesn’t give us some flatbread, we’ll block up all the windows.
If anyone doesn’t give us bread, we’ll take grandfather away.
If you don't give us a pie, we'll take the cow by the horns.
Whoever does not give ham, we will split the cast iron.
The owners give the children sweets in baskets
Solokha: Thank you, dear guests, for coming to congratulate me. Now the treat is ready! (Points to the table) Children praise the owners:
Whoever gave us the pie, the rye is thick.
Whoever gave us meat is the yard of the belly.
AND TO THE DEAR MISTRESS – OUR EARTHLY BOW!
The mummers perform a final round dance: the owners stand in the center of the circle, the mummers shower them with grain and sentence them with Presenters:
I sow, I sow, I sow
Happy New Year!
There will be a mountain of happiness for you!
The harvest is great!
Happy New Year

You will live together for up to two hundred years!
How did Kolyada go?
Walk along the street,
Walk along the street,
Happy New Year!

Let's go outside for a walk!
Everyone leaves the hall to the sound of a merry carol. The holiday ends.
There are wonderful 12 days at the beginning of each year - from Christmas to Epiphany, from the evening of January 6 to January 19, in the Orthodox tradition. And this time is called - Christmastide. And right in the middle of Christmas time - on the night of January 13-14 - the New Year comes.
Christmas time- a time of celebration, songs, dressing up, practical jokes, caroling. Usually children and youth came out to carol. They knocked on houses, sang songs, announced the birth of Christ and glorified generous hosts.
Carol, carol!
And sometimes carols
On the eve of Christmas.
Kolyada has arrived
Brought Christmas.
Give you Lord
In the field of nature
Hammered on the threshing floor
thicket,
On the table spore
The sour cream is thick,
The cows are milking!
It was customary then and now to present guests with pies, sweets and money. The carolers thanked their hosts with ritual songs.
From a good man
Rye is born good:
A spikelet of thick
The straw is empty!
Not opening the door for carolers is a bad omen.
In Orthodoxy, Kolyada before the New Year is called Vasilievskaya or rich. The second, on the eve of Epiphany, is Epiphany or Lenten.
Also, Christmas time is the time when spirits roam freely around the still unbaptized earthly world, which you can ask about the future. The tradition is pagan, but even the royal decree of 1649, threatening disobedient people with terrible punishments, did not deter people from wanting to carry out ancient rituals who could predict fate.
Usually, caroling youth gathered in one hut and had a real feast from the collected food, then they danced so that the year would be fruitful and told fortunes. The most reliable Christmas fortune-telling was considered to be fortune-telling about grooms, marriage and family life.
The groom could be identified by a log pulled from the firewood: smooth - good, with knots - there will be many children in the family, crooked - an inferior or lame one will get it, a thick log - a rich husband, and a thin one - you will marry a poor man. And for the fortune telling to be true, you need to approach the woodpile with your back.
In the village it is still possible tell fortunes by throwing a rooster into the hut, where various objects are scattered on the floor. If the rooster wants to drink water - the husband will turn out to be a drunkard, he will start pecking at the grain - the husband will be rich, he will run to the money - he will tell about his husband-player, he will spin around the ashes - the girl will marry a heavy smoker, he will look in the mirror - the husband will be handsome and gentle, to the chicken runs up - the husband will be walking.
If you live on a street corner, then you can at midnight - on Christmas, old New Year or Epiphany - go to the intersection and throw a boot or shoe over your shoulder. The sock will indicate where the darling will come from.
If a whole company has gathered on Christmas Eve, then you can find out who will get married first? To do this, threads of equal length are cut for each young lady and set on fire at the same time. Whose thread burns out faster will get married sooner. And if the thread goes out before it even burns halfway, then you may not get married at all. Although, a good deed won’t be called a marriage. Guys can try it too.
You want to know betrothed's name? Go out into the street at midnight on Christmas Eve and ask the name of the first passerby you come across. Whatever he calls, look for it.
You can also eavesdrop on how your neighbors behave. If you can see through the window that they are quarreling and arguing, then the year is unlikely to be quiet and calm.
Very popular fortune telling with a comb or hair comb. To do this, you need to comb your hair before going to bed, pour water into a suitable container, place the comb on top like a bridge, and place it under the bed. Watch your Christmas dreams carefully - your betrothed will definitely pass through the bridge.
You might be interested in financial prospects for the coming year. And here you can tell fortunes. Cut 40 identical pieces of paper, draw or write the word “money” on 20 of them, roll all the pieces of paper into a tube and put it in a bag. Think about what you need money for, put your hand in the bag and take out as much as you can. Unfold the pieces of paper and see which ones are bigger - cash or empty. This is your prospect if you believe in it.
You can make a wish and tell fortunes about its fulfillment.
Surprisingly, a broom is a good helper in this matter. It’s true that the winter should be snowy. So. Go outside at midnight make a wish and stick a broom into the snow, deeper. If in the morning the broom is standing straight - it’s your way, if it’s askew - it may not come true, but if it falls, then think of something else, and forget about what you wished for.
There is a simpler option. Write 12 wishes on 12 pieces of paper, which you roll into tubes and place under your pillow. In the morning, when you wake up, take out 3 pieces of paper with your left hand and find out 3 wishes that will definitely come true in the coming year.
