values: faith, love, truth, this is the path of stability and the foundation of our struggle. i wish that the spiritual content of the holidays will inspire everyone to continue working tirelessly for the sake of approaching victory, and the driving force in this will be love for others and trust in our defenders. let the christmas carol sound for everyone, and especially for our soldiers, enveloping christmas with warmth, warming the soul and body. i wish you and your family and friends christmas joy and a blessed and victorious new year. christ was born, let's praise him.

the valleys were saddened by grief, on sunday, early on sunday, green wine was planted. we are engaged in studying the tradition of this village and this region and reproducing traditions. and for me a super discovery is the tradition of bread. holy evening is a commemoration of the dead, the table is prepared with 12 fasting dishes. the process of baking bread is

so sacred, what they have is valuable, and i think the most important thing is that people can understand this value. when i am in the last course of the art academy. a friend of mine suggested

to me: do you want to go to a real one folklore expedition? well, how can you not agree, because my first education is folkloristics, and when we arrived, well , we saw a young man who invited us to his house, i was impressed that this young man was so, well, if he was interested in this culture, how much he deeply approaches all this and how much he feels beauty, and probably that's how we met, because two hearts that saw this... beauty, well, if they joined together, and we always had something to talk about, that is, well, then we parted ways , i went to my kyiv, he went to his odesa, but we were fine what to talk about, after this expedition, we continued communication when i defended my diploma, he was also at this diploma at our academy in the art studio, then already if he had offered me to at least try to form a relationship, i would have said so, that’s it if all of a sudden everything works out for us, well, get more expensive and start a family. well, we tried, and

now we have three sons, okay, okay, we are studying the tradition of this village and this region and reproducing traditions, well, this is a stove modeled after a traditional stove, of course, a traditional stove it was supposed to be in the house, but it is already a reproduction, as if we had it. the stove, the stove is the breadwinner, it has to burn every day, and the firewood must be collected from the summer, and it must be dry, now, who is the breadwinner for us now, a supermarket? a traditional stove, as i already said, it was made in the house, the house was divided into two parts, one part was where they spent the winter and it was heated, and it was heated thanks to the stove, and the other half was cold, they did not live

in winter, yes but earlier there were very large families, so if the size of the oven was determined in trays, the tray is such a... round shape, which you have already seen, in which bread is placed, in a large family the oven was made, it was called for 12 dec, that is, it was placed at the same time for 12 dec and 12 baked 12 loaves of bread, then, when the families started to decrease, the stove was made for nine dek and the smallest stove is for six dek, when dmytro and i decided to move to the village, i was scared, because it was unknown. you are going to some unknown place, no one knows you there, you hardly know anyone there either, you are a stranger there, but he, as a man, says, well what awaits us here, what can we do here, and what can we do there, if a person simply lives by the fact that weekdays and

sunday are for tv, then of course this is a very fresh life, and for us when we came, of course, we were leaving this life and wanted a variety of fullness. how to separate a finished oven or an unfinished one? it first blackens the oven, you see, it is now black, then when it starts to heat up, it will start to whiten, and when it turns white, it means that it is already baked enough that then you can already bake bread or to cook food in the oven, first we bought an old dilapidated house and decided that we would turn it into such a center of green tourism, and in 2012 we finished the renovation of this house and opened it to receive tourists, we called this house is an ethno-eco-house of bilochi, when we were rebuilding this house, of course the most important thing for us was

to preserve the elements of traditional culture in this house, since the decoration of this house had to be the same as that of traditional houses, well, that is it... this house old enough, so it was simply necessary to bring her into some kind of such look , so that it looked as authentic as possible, and here we were walking around the village , taking pictures of old houses, looking at the elements of architecture, look at that house, it ’s like there, there are birds, it’s beautiful there, look at that house, and there are stars, then yes, we constantly absorbed various elements with our eyes and photographed them on our... camera to recreate, to see how we would make our house beautiful, and it was these elements that we reproduced in this house in the same way, these are of course traditional dentils, we can see around the perimeter the whole house, we see it on the towels too, father

teeth, they are the same, here are these teeth, they are also present in houses, they are infinitesimals, they are called. to protect from an evil eye, from evil forces, a traditional stove should never be empty, this is very important, it must be or have a fire burning in it, then dishes are placed, and when , for example, the firewood is finished burning, firewood is selected and dishes are placed, then no one should, no one should... enter the house, should not leave the house, no one should look into that oven, and for me a super discovery is the tradition of bread, well, simply, well this is the cosmos, that is, that this tradition has been preserved here, almost to the fullest extent, breads, ritual, they are presented, and, well

, in our village in shershintsi, it is one tradition, in the village of perizhna, there are already its own nuances, there is another tradition , once upon a time, my dad even baptized only, it is absolutely necessary'. well, i also wanted to, i won’t say that i didn’t want to, well, he ’s like that, well, if he pushed me to do it constantly, and then we’ll turn to one woman, it’s possible for nadia to come when you bake bread and for you she was taught, oh, and i'm there that, that i'm there all the time, but i'm busy there, but they refused, almost everyone refused, but if you come... to us and we're fine here, that is , bread, the process of baking bread, it is so sacred that it is not customary to let a stranger in to his house to his oven, because either the bread will not fit, or there is something else there, well , the third tenth, well, there are many different

superstitions or beliefs related to this, the man must be responsible for the fire, if it ignites well in the man, it means that girls love him. a woman loves what you do, open the door, and what you you are worried, this is a special effect, this is an effect, how will it be with the smoke, you said. holy vespers is a commemoration of the dead, and if bread is not given for the living, bread is given for the dead, commemoration is given for the repose of the soul. pamana is a special type of memorial bread that is baked in the oven, it is woven, kneaded and... woven from several braids, then these braids are laid out on top

, a cross is necessarily laid out, and in this way , all of this is combined and baked as a whole bread , this pamana, it is given together with some with small gifts and a lighted candle, this is our dough, you see. that's how my mother once taught me, close to the table, close to the table, i still haven't learned, close, close, close, so that it doesn't go, so there's no need for pain, but then it won't go. that's how we used to roll, i 'm the youngest, my mother is my oldest and my grandmother, there

are three of us, and we always gave this piece of dough to my grandmother so that she could check with her hand whether it was normal or not, yes, why bread weaves out, i say that i will not tell the way the bearer will tell it, so come on it seems that i have even noticed such a trend... that where more human work is invested, well, in rituals, in general, this is what most rituals are based on, that there should be more energy and human work invested, this is such a practical moment, and there is an aesthetic one - it is always in some 21st place there, that is, aesthetics is simply created by itself, because a person approached the creator in any process that is connected with a ritual. i really liked the sound of the dough on the tablecloth, i loved so much when the dough

was knocked, when women were weaving and knocking it against the table, in my childhood i loved the sound of the dough, i couldn't do it myself yet, they are knocking, what are they knocking there, but they are kneading the dough, grandmother and mother are kneading it, and here i am kneading the dough so that the only air that is there comes out. there are these braids that are woven , there is their number, it also matters, for example, a curlicue for the dead, there are two braids, two and one along the edge, there are three, if it goes, an odd number, an odd number, it connected with the potobitch, with god, with the universe, well, if only more so, not an even number, even the number is more of an earthly number, although maybe not everyone has it fixed in their imagination, well, there are four corners in... well, if there were four there , this is the earth, and everything else, well, it’s not even, it’s three

, the sky is there 1 37 and this also reflected here in this tradition are the carols of the caroler, and what used to be a small apple or orichka roll. to scrape with a trough, that's all, they took a spoon and scraped, then of course they washed, well, that's

scraping. you see, the furnace is well fired, because the brick has become white, no longer smoky, black, which means that it should be ready. temperature so that the dish is cooked well, it's as if the pumans have arrived, they are already ready for the oven to be put in the oven. well, blacks, you see, he sees, we throw flour to check which blacks are burnt, whether it is possible to put bread, if the flour

burns immediately black, it means it is very hot, the bread will burn if it gradually becomes like this. brown, shine a light on it, see how brown it has become, you can't even see it on the black, well, put it on a shovel, tell me where, and... then, of course, since the table is preparing 12 lean dishes, then cabbage rolls, from cabbage, they covered with leaves to stomp them so they don't burn already, potato dumplings, this is our meat, pancakes with sweet cottage cheese and

salty cottage cheese. delicious, cakes with poppy seeds. karzhi is also an archaic traditional dish, which is made on holidays, and on the eve of the holidays, just like everything is traditional, they should be made very simply, with the dough that is currently at hand, not necessarily, but now it is kneaded, for example, on paman and na... you can make this dough without kneading it, you can use ordinary dough, or yeast dough, or you can make them without yeast to make, the main thing is to roll them out very thinly and not to bother, just put them on a hot stove, on a hot cast-iron stove, and they will be baked in 5 minutes, they are taken with such bubbles, and it is considered that these cakes are already

ready, and they can be broken and used . with grated poppy seeds and honey, and this is such a sweet dish, it is very simple, they are torn into small pieces like this, poppy seeds are steamed , nuts and a little honey are rubbed, it is all diluted, and such a dish is obtained . i i think that it's just a feature, a tourist feature of our area, it's cakes with poppy seeds. so, let me add something else, kutya, of course, yes, but here there is kutya, well, that’s it, maybe it’s a bit of a recent addition, here halva is added to the kutya , it has such a special nuance, but before i think they didn’t add it, but this is already a tradition, because how many years have we been here, i see that this is how kutya is made, of course uzvar, kutya and cakes with poppy seeds, fish jelly, this is also fish jelly, for me it was also

a discovery, where would we if you didn't go, you must there should be fish jello, and some other ones. there are already salads , it’s now, before there were no such salads 100%, maybe fermented vegetables, cream, cream boiled in wine, that’s also traditional, in wine with sugar, this cream is smoked here, we, i saw, even this is also very cool the process is like one grandmother, she has a vine house, it’s a smokehouse of some kind , she had a huge one there, and she smokes the cream there, she has a process, she follows it, probably that’s how grandmothers used to do it, because it's calm, there you have to... reject they smoke fruit trees and these creams for the whole year and then these creams are already smoked and their prunes are served like this and dumplings are made with it and

it is so simple to serve it. father asked, mother asked. thank you to my mother and father and to you for coming, for working

hard, for giving freely, they would have already said goodbye to this, as if to the distant past, and when they saw me wearing such a sundress, they laughed, oh, what did you do so well, well, as if it's a shame that it's already, well, it's nobody anymore won't wear it, it's not far away, but on the other hand, they have nostalgia, oh, i used to be a girl, i was so crazy, there was some kind of loss on the border of mentality when the soviet union was and the generation gap happened, that's all, the tradition was not passed on , and here... the generation now doesn't know this tradition of bread, for example, they can't do it all anymore, and the youth, they already live in a completely different world, that is, it may be interesting for individuals to reproduce it, but this

is no longer a tradition, good evening to all of you, happy hour, gave birth to the virgin of the ancient son, praise let's hum , let's sing cheerfully, good evening on earth, carolers start walking after the christmas service in the church, children start with singing, they can walk, later adults already walk, now the tradition of only caroling has been preserved, mainly women go and... . go caroling to church, almost everyone used to go caroling, and it was a very widespread tradition, married women separately,

girls went caroling separately, children separately, and adult family members also went and caroled, fortunately in this region preserved carols that have reached us even before christian times, these are carols. everyday , they are connected with wishes to young girls or young men, who are already on the verge of marriage, to wish them a happy marriage, and to make it happen as soon as possible, oh king, king, heavenly chess player, grant summer right now. i

like to make a christmas star most of all, i made more than one of them, i made the last star, i tried to make it as much as possible so that it looked traditional and folk, because for me it is very exciting to make christmas, especially with children a star to our glorious ukraine, you can carol, you can, you can, carol, carol, carol, good evening to all of you, happy hour, the virgin gave birth to a perfect son, praise be to god. let's sing merrily, good evening on earth, good evening, good evening, come in, come in, come in to the house,

please go there. for christmas there it can be ritual bread, which is for the health of the living, it can be geese, there guests with a goose are given already for the health of the living, that is, already people if for... the feast is more like that, well if festive, more cheerful, that's because it's already, well, if it weren't for lent, christmas has already come, let's go, honey, honey, the girls are dancing, right?

it seems to me that the mission is, well, not specifically mine, but mine too, to preserve this culture and pass it on to posterity, at least in the form in which it is possible, it is clear that we cannot look back there 100 years dig it up somewhere and there, well, at least what is there, the elements that are there, well, i think that they should be recorded in some way, either on media, or try to reproduce it yourself, show people the value of what they have, what they have, it's valuable, and... i think the most important thing is for people to be able to understand that value. my little sister to give away, on sunday, early on sunday, green wine, seasoned, i have a brother to give away, on sunday, early on sunday, green wine, planted. i am young myself, and

i need it on sunday, early on sunday, green wine has been planted, good evening, good evening, in your house. it is a good tradition during the christmas holidays to carol together with the picardy terc, tickets on the concert ua website, mediapartner spresso tv. the spirit of christmas will visit your city more than once. picardy tertia. to good
