kryvorivnia. verkhovyny is exactly the ivano-frankivsk region. and what makes this church unique is that it was built in the 1660s and today there was a festive the service of the church is called christmas of the most holy theotokos. well, this is a popular village in the carpathians, because there they preserved all the traditions of celebrating christmas itself, and of course the hutsul carol, the village of kryvorivnia is located between the carpathians of the bukovec ridge and it is so . cozy, you must visit it if you haven't been yet. well, we saw how the divine service was held, we saw the beginning of the holy communion , and after that there will be christmas. it starts from the

church and then goes to people's homes well, it is believed that the christmas carol itself embodies the model of the church because it begins in its yard after people leave the service for the yard and the christmas carolers made it possible for the church to actually visit every home in every house, not only in those below near the river, but also those who are lost in the highlands, that is, such remote single dwellings that are further away in the highlands , uh, we will now add elena shcherban to our broadcast ms. elena congratulations good day god, what a beautiful scarf you have ethnologist olena shcherban and the doctor are nicely dressed of historical sciences, she will explain to us all the features of the hutsul carol tradition and

what we need to do today, please mrs. olena. why say that only hutsul carols are because ukraine was caroling today? at the time of independence, ukrainians began to join the traditions, to remember them a little, not quite fully and as deeply as we scientists would like, so that with all observance of the customs and traditions of the entire archaic era, today is the holiday of christmas i would like to wish all ukrainians , regardless of where we are now, they each have their own home. unfortunately, this is a family holiday after church, after the service of god, and after congratulating each other on the most glorious holy year and i'm not

afraid to say this, because it's the beginning of the year. first of all, fly with a loud carol. i am very grateful to the residents who live in the western part of ukraine. they, in particular, the hutsul carol . sleep christmas carol because we are in trouble now i know that we are there god will help and good will win good i would also like to honor the guests today rejoice at this holiday and sing slobojan carols, not poltava carols but slobojan carols paradise has developed paradise has developed

christ was born, the lord himself rejoiced , and i am sure of it. i could cook for the mikhonoshi so that there was good honey with honey, but not like that without honey. yes, what kind of pitfall is that, and the boys, the children of mrs. olena slobozhanskoe - this also applies to sumy oblast, because i and luhansk oblast and sumy oblast, luhansk oblast, poltava oblast and i thank you. you have already played in our house in espresso and in the house of all our viewers who are watching us now. please tell me correctly what traditions are, because we are a little. well, we have forgotten these traditions of ours as it was before and what

should we return to? nice question. thank you for it. there is a whole cycle of rituals that begin the day before yesterday when it was christmas eve. ukrainians are very hospitable and very kind housewives, we like to have delicious food on the table and a lot of everything, so tasting it is more transferred to christmas today, today and especially to the afternoon, because before dinner we pay homage to god and harden our spirit er, well, we pray, we go to church, this is how it used to be, but the christmas eve verb prepares us for this, the fast ends, well, this is how it is according to

our orthodox tradition. well, the father brings grandpa yesterday, he should have brought grandpa, the symbol of the family aids is there for a woman, my mother baked pies, but again about the slobozhans. you see , i remembered just now that i am researching the traditional food culture, these are the slobozhans, and the methods are so difficult. she was born in kharkov . here, father would take the biggest pie and give it a walk around the yard and past everyone. there is a leash and to and to the cattle and i would say here is a cake i came and put a cross on it i would put a cross on it, well, the saint would see it like that grandpa eh-e this what does he look like and what does he represent oh my god , just in this house i still didn’t take grandpa from grandfather is represented by the genus, this is snow. it must be woven from all the grain. someday our great-grandfathers must have sown the field and oats grew, so that the whole genus would multiply, including wheat and yara and barley. sheaf

, well, make a cup like this spike to spike and in different variations, who can as he can, according to our ancestors, they did not look there, they counted how many symbols of numbers there, i rarely meet it, you are not three mothers and this grandfather snow, he puts himself on penance because on that penance siltse is from the manger of those who christ is like jesus will be born and put there in a brand new pot. well, since i have a new pot, i need to buy a new pot for the christmas corner. and this is the grain that comes to us from paganism. i just wanted to ask, you say it in our orthodox way, but if you look closely kolyada and in our country the church came out of the church in such a natural way. kolyada and all these customs, they are pagan, that is, it was woven together in us, so everything turned out very well. this

the soft time lasts for 2022 years, the church is so beautiful and easy to put on it, we have already gotten used to it during this time. and the vigilance that we now see on the screen, it was also in our part of ukraine, but it disappeared very quickly in our country under the influence of the eradication of the russian empire, why did it survive in the western part? because such a tradition is not only ukrainian, it is also western european. please find it in the museum of hungary in budapest or there, even in sweden, you will see these very similar costumes, well, elements of caroling, and here carols are going on at the same time i will comment on the picture now. what kind of suit is this? it's a power suit. it can be both scary and good at the same time. it's the dualism of the world. it shows the two sides of the world,

darkness and day. and anyway victory day, the star will rise . scientists are studying our ukrainian eyes, this is a very, very interesting thing , these disguises are carnival costumes, this is a very cool topic , it is serious, you know, it can be very mystified in the tourist topic and get a flow of tourists to us, god give us victories because we are not yet engaged in this, we are not even far from it, not every ukrainian has seen this beauty with his own eyes, this is just an extravaganza, this is a holiday, this brawling is allowed, because the half is over, joy has come, the world received proof again that good has won, a star has risen, a son has been born , the power of good has won and it will be like this forever and it repeats itself from year to year. and these brawlers , in which the boys run up. well, they, among other things, courted the girls, kidnapped the girls they liked, touched them, kissed them, and asked

for such honor with a song, not if you want it with a song honors, so i will do you without bickering , and soon i will make a goat, there will be malanka and vasyl, on december 31, from the 31st, we will be the first to drive again, this is a carnival event, the goat malanka, and the goat, it echoes the christmas carol and the goat, these balls are all agricultural balls, this is all thanks to the earth that gives birth fertile and the sun that was born warmed the earth and it is a combination of natural and supernatural forces, but the righteous man, well, the angel can’t brag about having fun like this, because all the forces are happy and in the bible they are bad and this costume shows that everyone is happy and they they are strung out and there is supervision over them, they are still controlled by a good force, and there each group of

carolers must also have a leader, as he is called. what is his mission to control? peacetime, secondly, this tradition is unfortunately dying out, and now one group can go around the village. well, a maximum of two around the village. and if the village was large and full of people, then there could be a walk - every street once had its vechornytsia and on girls gathered for a couple of years at evening parties, and they formed this caroling group among themselves. and the leader made sure that they did not go to our street, because we are coming here to carol, they divided them, you know, the leader plus the leader, he is the first to be sent to the yard. well, if the dog bites him, then well i have different owners, so they don't want to hear the christmas carols, so don't let them, that means he will be responsible for it, and he will ask the hosts if the guide will allow us to carol or

do you allow us or do you accept our christmas carols? great happiness and comfort if carolers would come to our house, this is a sign of well-being for the whole year. i, uh, i believe in this very strongly. i check it every year from my own experience, and today , unfortunately, i did not have carolers that were so loud and cool and cool, but you're still caroling until the evening. yes, but until the evening, but it's dinner time, the house should have been full. after all, there were all the not-so-sweet dishes on the table, meat, sausages and saltisones, and elderflowers, and shpunder with beets, and we're going to make good notes, mrs. elena , next year after our victory everything we will bring back all our traditions and your work is extremely important here, so bring out all that we have forgotten in modern times, because this is our value, uh, our roots here need to be popularized as much as possible, scientists know a lot, but it is a little bit lying in the

drawers, scientific works and articles are very krutsky, then i call the scientific community , especially ethnologists, of whom there are very few in ukraine, we are very few, we have only two institutions of scientific activities in ukraine, in kyiv, the maxim rylsky institute of art history and ethnology named after maksym rylsky anna skrypnyk the director and the academician and that's it, it's the ethnology of the national academy of sciences of ukraine in lviv and it's managed by the head of the academician stepan petrovych pavlyuk. these are only two scientific , constitutional, all of ukraine. it's very few ladies, but if the carolers come, we go back to the festive procession. can we refuse them? there are such ones, i read in the literature that i am already refusing you because i already had seven of you in atah. anyway , i already have nothing to give a lot, although i am very sorry that i have already given out pies and kalachi and palyanitsa and everything that i prepared are gone and there are no sweets and gingerbread and money and nuts and

hangings everything i had everything i gave away yes there are such cases, but as a rule they do not refuse because they prepare because they agree times have changed we have become wary we have become richer than our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers we became stingier for such fun, we began to treat less and wait for generous people and carolers, in particular for christmas and the honorary christmas carol. here we are in our dnipro oblast for the christmas carol, it was very unpopular in our country. people did not know that january 7. well, as we celebrated until last year in in ukraine, it is necessary to carol on christmas, but neither the children nor the youth knew, but in kryvorivna, thanks to them, they preserved it and they continue it to this day, but it is very desirable to take the carolers to the table, sit down and listen to all their songs . take part as much as possible. well, how do you play a role there? sing a little song. sit down at the

table. give a gift. put everything in a bag. then they can carol endlessly, congratulate me, the master, the mistress, the children, remember everything, the whole family, and here the parents came to visit, and here the godfathers - the godfathers came wonderfully and we can sit until the evening alone. i was so lucky to be in lviv oblast. that it will be so fast, how did they come in? no, that's all. it was all very late in the evening. i've seen it before. and we're ready for it. what should we do now? now they're conducting a poll. well, it's already closer to half. people are sharing on december 25, i must honor together with the whole world the birth of christ. by the way, it does not depend on us when christ will be born, he was born anyway. i am in favor of celebrating christmas today and together

with the whole world. and on the 7th, you will no longer celebrate one thing on i will have it on january 6. the saint will already be gone. kutya will atone for the bazaar. well, tell us now after today. who didn't have time to tie santa yesterday and carol today? what should we prepare for? we prepared a lot of kutyu yesterday. this is the first time. now on december 31, we will prepare a generous kutyu, it will be a goat , melanka, melanka, vasylka was walking, the leaders will ring again, and the cossack will flirt and marry off girls. well, there is a whole cycle, well, we can’t talk to you for a very long time, we will prepare a generous kutyu. and pies to go with it by the way, you must cook black sausage for lightning, i.e. blood sausage, you mouse, we will eat meat sausage today, and blood sausage, well, that's logical. this is also related to the topic of gastronomy, there are also very interesting moments , and lastly, we will prepare kutyu i'm hungry on january 6, on the epiphany and away , we will go to the bazaar and go to sleep. we will go to grandfather, what

kind of people are we? grandfather can be very symbolic, but for me it is like that. there were some grains of grain on the table, so uh, it's just like a decoration and they should be burned to buy a new one from the stock exchange next year and make a new one again. grandpa and dinner will stop us from today. well, the name is from yesterday, in truth, the father brings this symbol, you know he is such a standing table, he can stand on three legs, this grandpa is straight snow , this is how he can be rich big who on how long did it go, what was the connection, and then we will burn it on january 6 and on december 31, we will have malanka , yes, and vasyl, vasyl's goats. yes, look at this vasyl . and vasyl, it’s all in one cycle, because already from the night of 001 minutes already, vasylko, they are already going to sprinkle again, to be generous, here are the climbers, and it is desirable that it be a boy

, so preferably, on january 1, and let it even be a dark night, this is just the transition from the dark night to until daylight and let him sow the house rye and wheat only, god forbid, that there will be no more peas for tears, no beans and no rice and if there was wheat there, all the barley is in general a lot, and you have to prepare your children for this. it is a good honor to sing that this boy is very correct and this christmas carol is the socialization of youth and generosity - this is the socialization of youth, not everyone will come to someone else's house. good afternoon, i will come to you. let me carol . because in the winter in the village people there, if there is no light, they sit in their houses. and this is so certain, i will kill you, they will sew and

embroider a little. unfortunately, we now saw in the blackouts that our ancestors did not sit like that and did not look out the window, but worked and when it’s done, it’s great. thanks to god, it started to get shorter, even though it’s a little bit shorter, but when it’s time to sew it, it’s time to embroider, because spring will come again to the niva to work to excess, and while this cycle is from november to march, yes, until april, women, women’s work is eternal you sew , you spin that thread, then a canvas from it. then well, you cut, you embroider, you make rows. well, that’s it. i’m telling you about traditional society, manual home production, but it’s all coming back little by little. you see, we’re already making candles. we’re spinning socks from dog hair for our protectors. a black scarf, unfortunately, because of the war. i really like scarves, i have been wearing a scarf for the past 12 years in a row, yes, i want to . well, i just want to
