Weddings held in the Russian Tradition are filled with meaning, fun, valiant prowess, girlish beauty and the power of a new Life. Summer Solstice Festival. The boys are cutting down the tree. It is installed on a place chosen for the festivities - a clean, flat field, a mound, a river bank, a lake. The girls decorate the tree with flowers and colored scraps of fabric. The tree is popularly called "madder" or "kupala". Under the tree they fit the image of Yarila - a doll. "Yarila" is dressed in clothes, decorated with a wreath, flowers and ribbons. They kindle a fire. Near this fire and the most fun will go. Protective herbs and wreaths are distributed to all participants. The celebration starts around 4:00 pm.

The girls are on the sidelines, they are watching the betrothed. When the fire burns out and settles down, the choice of the betrothed begins. The girl pats the guy on the shoulder and runs away, and he runs to catch up with her. Having caught her, he leads her to the fire, over which they jump ... Christmas is one of the main Orthodox holidays. According to church tradition, Jesus Christ was born on the night of January 7th. It is from this day that the so-called Christmas time begins, which lasts for two weeks. For Orthodox Christians, this holiday is associated great amount traditions and rituals. One of them is Christmas carols. The word carol comes from the Latin calendae, which means the first day of the month. Previously, the Slavs used the word carol to call Christmas, but over time, the meaning of the word changed, and ritual songs that were treated at home on Christmas Eve began to be called carols. The carol squad (mostly children and youth) went out into the street with a star and a nativity scene (an old folk puppet theater) as soon as dusk fell. Carolers dressed up in costumes and masks so that they could not be recognized. They dressed up as bears, goats, horses, gypsies. The main meaning of the carols is the praise of the house in which the carolers came, its families, as well as various wishes for wealth and a good harvest. Carol came On the eve of Christmas, Give me a cow, Maslyan's head. And God bless the one who is in this house. The rye is thick for him, the rye is stingy. He has an octopus from an ear, A carpet made of grain for him, A pie made of half-grain. The Lord would give you And life, and being, And wealth. And create for you, Lord, Even better than that! And at that time, the girls also arranged Christmas fortune-telling, wanting to see the betrothed - the mummers ... Traditional pysanka A living egg is the embryo of a future life. Now eggs are painted only on Clean Thursday - Easter, and in ancient times it was a whole cycle of rituals associated with the fertility of nature and man. These ceremonies were conducted mainly by women, secretly and carefully storing and transmitting the protective magic of the symbols inscribed on a living egg - the embryo of a future bird. But the bird in our ancient symbolism did not mean anything, but the human soul, embodied or not embodied in the body. And these symbols worked, healed both the bodies and souls of both the craftswomen themselves and those to whom the Easter eggs were intended. It was huge world symbols, sometimes showing the arrangement of the universe and the path of the soul through the divine worlds, sometimes keeping health or attracting wealth, sometimes giving strength to warriors for battle or women in childbirth in the birth of a child. A huge colorful world, where rage, and love, and tenderness, and the desire to go up were written out with hands ... Throughout the spring, eggs "pysanka", "krashenok" are painted - and various games are played with them. The church Easter calendar has largely obscured the essence of the rituals associated with eggs, but the content of the painting of Easter eggs takes us into deep antiquity. There are also heavenly deer, and pictures of the world, and many ancient symbols of life and fertility. In ethnographic museums, thousands of Easter eggs are stored, which are the most massive heritage of Slavic ideas. Eggs, both colored and white, play an important role in spring rituals: departure for the first plowing is done “with salt, with bread, with a white egg”; an egg is broken on the head of a horse or a plowing ox; an egg and a biscuit - a cross is an obligatory accessory of the rites when sowing. Often, eggs are buried in the ground, rolled across a sown field. Eggs are laid under the feet of cattle during pasture on St. George's day and lelnik, they are placed at the gate of the barn so that the cattle step over them; they go around the cattle with eggs and give them to the shepherd. So, to summarize: Slavic pysanka is an ancient folk view art, and at the same time - a message to the gods who protect the human race. Christ is risen! Everywhere the blessing is buzzing, From all the churches people are pouring down. The dawn is already looking from heaven ... Christ is risen! Christ is risen! The cover of snow has already been removed from the fields, And the rivers are torn from the shackles, And the nearby forest is turning green ... Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Here the earth is waking up, And the fields are dressing, Spring is coming, full of miracles! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Here and round dances and quadrilles by all the people And children's games, and valiant fun. If you want to lift a weight, if you want to play with children, if you have the strength - to a pole, or to a bathhouse, so that. And to cope with the mountain, first go through a wall fight. With Baba Maslyana, send misfortune and ailment to the fire. Gaining strength for a whole year, will give flight through the fire. Shrovetide is an ancient Slavic holiday that we inherited from pagan culture. This is a cheerful farewell to winter, illuminated by the joyful expectation of close warmth, spring renewal of nature. Even pancakes, an indispensable attribute of Maslenitsa, had a ritual meaning: round, ruddy, hot, they were a symbol of the sun, which flared up brighter, lengthening the days. It is possible that pancakes were also part of the funeral rite, since Shrovetide was preceded by a “parents' day”, when the Slavs worshiped the souls of their deceased ancestors. Every day of Shrove Tuesday has its own name. Monday - meeting. By this day, mountains, swings, booths were being completed. Those who were richer began to bake pancakes. The first pancake was given to the poor in remembrance of the dead. Tuesday - games. In the morning, young people were invited to ride down the mountains and eat pancakes. They called relatives and friends: “We have de mountains ready, and pancakes are baked - please favor.” Wednesday - gourmets. On this day, the son-in-law came "to the mother-in-law for pancakes." In addition to the son-in-law, the mother-in-law invited other guests. Thursday - wide revelry. From that day on, Shrovetide unfolded in full breadth. The people indulged in all kinds of fun: ice mountains, booths, swings, horseback riding, carnivals, fist fights, noisy revels. Friday - mother-in-law evening. Sons-in-law invited their mother-in-laws to visit, treated them to pancakes. Saturday - sister-in-law gatherings. Young daughters-in-law invited their sister-in-laws to visit. The newlywed daughter-in-law had to give her sister-in-law some gift. The last day of Maslenitsa is Forgiveness Sunday. Everyone asks each other for forgiveness, bows at their feet, and in response they hear: "God will forgive." In the Orthodox Church, it is believed that the meaning of Maslenitsa is reconciliation with neighbors, forgiveness of offenses, preparation for Great Lent - a time that needs to be devoted to good communication with neighbors, relatives, friends, and doing good. Lenten services begin in churches. On Wednesday and Friday, the Divine Liturgy is not celebrated, the Lenten Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian is read. Walk around - one of the days of Shrovetide. Take a walk on a sunny day in the fresh air with songs, dances and the tradition of burning Shrovetide.
