CHRISTMAS IS AN ANNUAL FESTIVAL
COMMEMORATING THE BIRTH OF JESUS
CHRIST, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. WITH
THE COMING OF CHRIST PEOPLE HAVE FOUND
HOPE FOR MERCY, KINDNESS, TRUTH AND
ETERNAL LIFE. THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS ACCORDING TO THE
JULIAN CALENDAR ON JANUARY 7, UNLIKE THE
WESTERN CHURCHES THAT CELEBRATE IT ON
DECEMBER 25TH ACCORDING TO THE
GREGORIAN CALENDAR.

16. In ancient times, such traditions of Christmas, as fortune-telling on the betrothed, were, perhaps, the most widespread. Each

unmarried girl was looking
forward to this holiday, in order
to
tell
fortunes
about
"suchenoj-ryazhenogo". That
is why great Russian writers
devoted a lot of works to this
tradition. In them they describe
Christmas fortune-telling as
something mystical, insanely
intriguing and even frightening.

17. Коляда

КОЛЯДА
An ancient Christmas rite
celebrating the holiday songs,
as well as the most song.

18. Children put on costumes, knock on doors of houses, sing songs and receive sweets. If you do not open the door to the person,

who
does this, then this is considered
to be a bad sign and brings
unhappiness.

INITIALLY, CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH
A LOT OF FOLK CUSTOMS, BUT THEY WERE FORGOTTEN,
AFTER THE CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS WAS BANNED IN

ALLOWED TO PUT AND DECORATE CHRISTMAS TREES TRUE, NOT CHRISTMAS, BUT NEW YEAR'S.

IF BEFORE 1918, CHRISTMAS WAS
CELEBRATED EVERYWHERE, AND THE NEW
YEAR WAS A MUCH LESS SIGNIFICANT
HOLIDAY, THEN UNDER SOVIET RULE, THEY
SWAPPED PLACES. THE SOVIET UNION WAS
THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE
THE NEW YEAR ABSORBED CHRISTMAS
ATTRIBUTES, WHILE REMAINING QUITE A
SOVIET HOLIDAY.

22. And after the split of the Soviet Union, there was no reverse transformation - the New Year was a traditional family holiday,

AND AFTER THE SPLIT OF THE SOVIET
UNION, THERE WAS NO REVERSE
TRANSFORMATION - THE NEW YEAR
WAS A TRADITIONAL FAMILY HOLIDAY,

POPULATION, MOSTLY ORTHODOX
BELIEVERS, BEGAN TO CELEBRATE
