, ivano-frankivsk region, we see live how the holy communion continues. they have already left the church itself after the service and the christmas carol begins from this very church. they will go down to the village because this church is more than 300 years old and in the 1660s it was built as a wooden church, there are these wooden stairs, it is located on such a hill from where the whole village can be seen, carolers will descend and this from the church to carry the news that the son of god was born to the house in the village and they should reach not only those houses that are located below because it was level. it is located in such a bowl between the mountains and the river black cheremosh

flows there -e is very full of strength and go even to comfort those who are far away in the foothills, in the mountains, isolated houses , the carolers should go to every house with the good news, sing carols, it is all accompanied by actions, traditional ukrainian ceremonies, we have already talked about the fact that in ukrainian society, the traditional church traditions, church traditions next to pagan traditions that honored our great-great-great-ancestors and we remember them, they remain in our genotype, our traditions in our archetype, they are very important to bear because they are connected with power, with our power, which lies in agriculture, in which our survival also lies, because it is food

, because if you do it, you will live for a year, and you will have abundance, and thanks to all the deities that our ancestors believed in, the deities of nature that helped them to sow, harvest , and survive until the next spring. and it has passed down to us that there is no such thing that this cannot be done you stand here cross here a handkerchief here not a handkerchief how can we observe this russian church ukrainian church orthodox church of ukraine it is very loyal very democratic very people-centered and we can see this live with you when you even go to the church for yourself if you come you will come to ivana rybaruk i am telling you this because i myself visited him this summer. he welcomes

guests with absolute sincerity and shows them the churches. he showed us the books preserved in this church. this is a village church in the village of kryvorivnia. well, you know that in the past in churches they recorded born, died, baptized, and the dates 1700-1800 are written there. when you take these books in your hands, it's simple. we have such ants there now. as you can see, our cameras are espresso machines. we broadcast the service from the very morning in the church of the nativity of the blessed virgin mary, the village of kryvorivnia from kosh, there is a journalist, whose correspondents we will now attach to ivan haruk, we will try to contact him in order to find out firsthand what is happening there ivan and congratulations, i see a festive outfit e-e please tell me what these mean p- multi-colored and i i don't know what it's called. and what are you doing there? you see

how everything is happening. christ was born right now , near the church of the nativity of the most holy theotokos, thousands of both local and visiting guests have gathered here, because today, after the festive liturgy, which is already ending , the christmas hutsul short will take place here which does not exist anywhere in the world, this is an authentic ancient tradition of the hutsuls, where local boys and men find troops from house to house and carol the so-called dances for this tradition. many guests come to watch, now the square here is filled with a large number of people, there are trembits, there are hutsul horns, with the help of which carolers announce their arrival , starting today from the church and already coming to every house in the village , caroling right there, they carol in such an

ordinary hutsul carol in winter the clothes are horned mines, this is all also under it, there is also on such a coat, that is, a shirt, ordinary, such carolers and carolers attributes , carolers clothes, everyone also holds in their hands and a turk, which is called another way here the local people are also caroling, the bees were flying, oh, there on the river, there are jordanians, various poles, who are characteristic of this hutsul mountain region, today we see a lot of immigrants who came here. also, while staying here, they say hello, i see that they are live on the air, you have the right to be a little louder we see you, this beautiful outfit is a little louder, give us strength, please, we can hear you, and these people who came and saw it for the first time, how do they react, we will go to them now, we will ask them, we hope that they they will also tell us that there is

mr. anatoliy from kherson near us, he is also the first to visit kryvorov today and especially for christmas anatoliy, what are your impressions and what thoughts do you want to see from kryvorov and i, i can’t even convey what impression what kind emotions like , well, well, well, for the first time in my life, and i’m standing, like, how can i say, my whole body somehow it’s shaking so very much like that, ants on the body of our guests, where are we here, uh, are our guests, or christ was born, what kind of impression do you want to have already saw in kryvyi rih for the first time in our entire lives, we were here, first of all i want to wish everyone health, and also that everyone is alive and healthy

and the heads are in vain. let's go further . christ was born, with what wishes did you come to kryvorivna, what do you want to see here, what will you already see from the atmosphere, uh, we are very pleasantly surprised, and this kind of spirit that supports us today and thank you for what you are doing and where are you from? and you ask people where did you come from? we came from kharkiv. it is very nice here. different cities of the country, that's why it's very, very cool well, these are the impressions of our uh-uh guests here uh-uh, many people will come if there are such technical possibilities to show exactly how many

thousands are here, you see the whole square is filled with pre-serva everyone is waiting for the hutsul kolyada everyone is waiting for the that's the name of the hutsul parties. that's what caroling bands and carolers are called, starting from now and continuing to vasiliy to vodochreshch until the story, according to the current and new forces of vodochreshch, they will celebrate here not on the 19th, but on january 6, according to this in time, the christmas carol will start in kryvyi rih, you can also see that now they will start the christmas carol traditionally with hutsul trembits and horns, these are local instruments that also make a lot of noise that the christmas carol has started. the christmas carol continues from today . boys and men will go from house to house and teach together about the birth of christ and at the same time collect funds for the needs of the church community for the needs of the church

parish curiosities you can carol... traditional authentic hutsul events that we have the opportunity to see, it is not customary for women to go caroling - it is purely such an exhausting work, that is, they look like a spectacle, so if at first glance, in fact, if a man from today is older , in general, how did they enter from the church on christmas yes and they were already returning closer to vasyl in order to be baptized. that is, it is such a hanging house, work from morning to evening, passing by, becoming carolers, and so, what will they be? glory for a week, almost like that, well, it used to be like that before , now it comes back more often i will tell you at home that there was even such a tradition that men did not shave, but from the beginning of christmas until the end of the christmas season, it was not even allowed to shave. every carol party has its own organizational moments. there is a birch tree, which

is the chief, so to speak . people who ring bells who, er, blow trumpets at enemies under every house, there are also special carols inside that are performed by carolers when they are away, even when they are invited inside, they do not remember the owners and died that you also remember such an ancient family, remembering each grandmother, great-grandfather, it is also for health. where possible, every owner orders for his children, for his family, for those who are currently in the house, and in this way we collect funds also for various needs needs words i will say what this year, many local boys , men, are in the war, in particular, more than fifty are on the front line, and accordingly, many of them are now older

than they used to go. but in order to ensure that kolyada will still be present at that correspondent directly from kryvorivna tells carols what is happening there right now this village of kryvorivnia ivano-frankivsk region that is where the service was held today for the first time only on the 25th of ivano they are chatting with us you can continue no well he said that singing hundreds of about 500 men from kryvorivna are now defending the country directly at the front, and the christmas caroling is a purely male tradition, as ivan said, because i read that both men and women carol, but ivan haruk also said that it is a purely male tradition , because it is hard work, in fact they are not they just go caroling from house to house and collect for the needs of the church for the needs of the community, they collect everything that people give and this is

such a job, the men didn't even shave during this caroling and it lasted until vasyl malanka, we understood that so, well, it's uh more than a week, almost a week, this is the race of carolers, they are called hutsul parties, parties in such groups go around the villages, as the ethnologist olena shcherban told us, everything is divided, spheres of influence are divided, there is a leader, who is in charge, who agrees who where does it go so that on the street i demarcate and distribute and the carolers each have their own territory each group and each party actually has its own territory, well, that’s how it happens, in fact, this is what i see in this as the germs of ukrainian self-government when people agree, organize and agree

to do something, to go somewhere we go there and we go there we do this and you do that and that is the self-government that is inherent to ukrainians and the ukrainian people because we know that it somehow did not work in russia, the same government simply does not exist in them, they only understand vertical e methods of management when there is a tsar the tsar said and they did, but our shcherban is with us ethno-lowland woman and doctor of historical sciences ms. elena if you heard what ivan haruk said and those people who came i heard that anatoliy was there from kherson, people came from kharkiv well, look, it's also very cool , people who may never have gone to a curve in their life, but i was there for the first time in my life this summer, how many people from kharkiv oblast, slobozhan oblast of eastern ukraine had not been there, did not know those traditions. and now they went and learned about it there are also parents in the war, we know very little about the class culture, what we know very little about,

we respect our local culture, you can see the twisting of the woman's trunk and put it, and i, along with them, all those people, i am glad that they now have directions, i will ask you to speak louder the songs of the mountains will be heard from them now, the christmas carol as it should be, and may it be heard all the way to us, and may it reach the bakhmut and reach the points to kherson, so that all the boys and girls can also hear those who are now at zero and are only now protecting us with their hearts and bodies so that we had a carol and mrs. i a how about er-e kolyada yes kolyada or kolyada i heard the accent correctly and this is dialecticism, we are different like well if in our territory we can say in bakhmut but in bakhmut people say bakhmut this is the same fields yes caroling christmas carols are different, but the meaning

is the same, the sun looks at the circle, the birth of a new one. well, in this case, it is the birth of the son of god, christ. christmas carols as congratulations , honoring objects, let's talk in more detail. ivan haruk said that only men walk and that it is very hard work for them. where you were with me, i had a hard job, i went for a week , went caroling, that's the truth, it was perceived the same way. it's really hard work, because this work, first of all, on your feet and on your throat, you have to go around, and walking through a mountain village is not like that. that 's just what we have. in the east, there is at least less here, at least more or less steppe, and in them it is along the mountains, at the bottom, up, and maybe you can climb to one to one house, and she will find somewhere under the mountain somewhere under the mountain. that is, it is very difficult to walk alone, plus on you have to carry yourself because many gifts are not brought only money and also such material ones and bread and sausages and lard and you carry it all on your own,

plus the weather, you shouldn’t forget that plus today’s kolyada is very fun and such a fresh, fresh participant and tomorrow they will be a little hoarse, as they say, because they they will sing from house to house and this is a purely physiological moment in the cold air a-a singing and you and you the singing goes on for a long time, they sing for a long time and sing out the process of the birth of christ, the whole process of it is like the first dawn rose and waved - well, the nativity scene is the same they also show soot, not only you sing, but not only the songs, not only the throat is loaded. he just spoke like this to a light such a boat of his. and they are even

more massive, and someone will not fit in them like that . so that dance is really trampling, catching or in these they are heavy yes yes and also hats and also trembita and the star could also and the sun to be honest it's really hard but they are here a little bit here such a moment their women are waiting for them out of respect who should set the table uh cover the tables and everything with carpets that's right their women are just setting the tables and setting everything treats and then they give gifts to the eyes and well, hutsula, they are well done, they have more patriarchal things like that. here in our family, for example, as my father said, it is on my mother 's side, so if i wanted to infect kolyada, i know exactly what my husband had, i apologized and here it is not no problem if the guys don't take it women have their own caroling party, that means we women will organize our own caroling, we will go

caroling, well, it will be like that in peacetime, and we will do it in our own way, because it is not forbidden, there is no fasting as such, it is patriarchal, so there are men, well, they are more, well, they are highlanders in they are more severe than them and their women, well done, they are more so submissive, and here in the east, we still play a little bit like amazons. yes, we are emancipated and under poltava solohi , we, you know, here i am, and then you think, well , why am i running ? husband well what to run? well, while running, we need to learn from hutsul women, that's how it turns out, what or how do you think polish women should be pious, let's first be diligent, they are more church visits - it's not yet an embankment, it's a spiritual treasure in everyone to speak their native language, they're here too here you can't take away, they are great guys, respect your father and mother, live according to the biblical laws,

respect being a woman, it's not like that. so, you wear dances and you walk around with a haircut . most importantly, you won't understand if you're a boy or a girl, but here well-dressed as best as possible khustskyi, not one at a time, and even these idiots like to be pricked here and there, you see, i’m not at peter’s , and i had to wind up in their manner, if only she was like that, they go to church so beautifully and are beautiful such people there well, underwear and shirts and all kinds of hats, i mean, everything is very, very beautiful, they wear a lot of it everyday, well, on holidays, of course, here in the east, this is a less developed tradition. and i still want us to take an example from this to be embankments to be obedient because you got married all you are for husband after husband everything already well, it's okay, i'm the first to run and honor my own local tradition and meanwhile it's interesting and we have it and you have

it so today we are watching the hutsul kolyada how it takes place there we are now being shown a live broadcast directly from the village of kryvorivnya the service has already left the church and the christmas carol will continue. i know that the hutsul christmas carol with a dance, we have already found out that this carolers' dancing is a unique example of a continuous singing tradition in the carpathians, this christmas carol is the embodiment of the soul of the hutsuls part of their genetic code, that is why this holiday is still alive and there is no end to the end and the end in it, because the hutsuls do it first for themselves. yes, this is how it is. and let's show that we are brothers of the goat goat god's body is sweet

to god sana on god's side and water is good for the heroes glory to ukraine glory to the heroes glory olena shcherban with us, mrs. olena , just now they have already sung the hymn in the highlands and the carolers will already descend

and actually, this magic of the carol will begin as it is from here. it begins as they choose their house, that is the particularity of the hutsul carol . and it is a great honor for me. and they came to me this year. yes, i would have already bribed them the day before and told me that the first thing to meet is the gate of the hutsul carolers , yes, they are a function of tradition and build horns . they are very loud and you will see now. live p olena and comment on the power of

anxiety give me the same principle christ little oh honest people honest man christ was born cheerful christ was born we will break this glory of the cross give funny books honest we think silver points up we hold silver accordions in our hands we know
