A special day for special celebrations Merry Christmas!

A special day for special celebrations Merry Christmas!

One of the main Christian holidays is the Nativity of Christ, which is different from others: the sacrament, traditions and atmosphere that prevails around. The celebration of Christmas was set in commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem and does not trace back to the 4th century. It is preceded by a forty-day fast that begins on November 28 and ends on January 7.
The holy supper is held in the family circle, and begins immediately after the first star appears in the sky. On the table at Holy Evening traditionally there are 12 dishes. An honorary place is occupied by kutia - wheat porridge with raisins, poppy seeds, nuts and honey, from which the meal begins. Also on the table are songs such as: dumplings, stuffed cabbage, canned mushrooms, roasted and pickled fish, stewed cabbage, potatoes, compote. Different regions of Ukraine have their lists of dishes, and in general, the main and unchanging rule is their number. According to tradition, the owner sits at the table first, and it is he who starts the dinner with supper and tastes the first meal.

The design of the room where the dinner will be given special attention. The table is sprinkled with straw, grain and coins, on the edge of the table is placed garlic, which is considered a guard against disease and evil forces, top it all with a tablecloth and begin to impose dishes. The lime is lined with hay and eggs, nuts and pumpkins are placed on it. The house is brought rye, wheat or spring sheaf, which is called the grandfather. It is a symbol of harvest, prosperity and the kindness of the species.
There is no celebration without Christmas carols that start filling Christian homes on Holy Night. Christmas carols go from house to house, giving sincere carols and thus entertaining the hosts and guests of the house. Often they carry a Christmas star - a symbol of the birth of Christ. According to ancient beliefs, the more Christmas carols they visit, the more generous the year will be for the family. Also a typical Christmas custom for Ukrainians is the nativity scene - live or miniature puppet theater.
