The day of intensive preparation for the feast of the Nativity of Christ is considered to be Christmas Eve - the eve of the great holiday, which occurs on January 7 for Orthodox Christians.

According to the gospel tradition, when the Roman emperor Augustus, who ruled Judea, announced a census of the population and everyone had to register exactly where they came from, righteous Joseph went with the Blessed Virgin Mary, betrothed to him, to his native city of Bethlehem. There were no empty rooms in the hotel, so Joseph and Maria found shelter in a cave where they drove pets (in Old Slavonic - a nativity scene). In this den, the Savior was born. The Mother of God placed the baby in a manger. The first to bow to the incarnate God came the shepherds, informed by an angel. After them came the Magi (Eastern pagan sages), who learned about the miracle that had happened by the appearance of an unusual star in the sky. This star led the Magi to the birthplace of Jesus and therefore is called Bethlehem.

It is customary for Orthodox Christians to spend Christmas Eve - the night before Christmas - in the temple for prayers. Preparing for the Christmas holidays, in Rus' they strictly observed one important rule - thoroughly cleaned the house. Well, maybe not as thoroughly as by Easter, but still they scraped the floors, polished pots and pans to a shine, cleaned silverware. At Christmas, houses and churches are decorated with fir trees and coniferous branches, symbolizing eternal life, and the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree is associated with the image of a paradise tree full of fruits. The traditional Christmas colors are red and green, and you can rely on them to create a festive mood. Favorite symbolism of the holiday - angels, donkeys, a nursery with a baby, the Star of Bethlehem. It is customary for Catholics to hang Christmas wreaths made of straw and pine needles on walls and doors, we have more accustomed Christmas tree bouquets. Candles should be present in the decoration of the house. They give a special coziness and charm to the whole atmosphere of the New Year holiday, symbolizing the Sun, and Christmas candles - the light of Christ. In Rus', special thick candles were made for the New Year and Christmas, which were lit in the evening and burned until the end of the next day.

Although Christmas is purely a family holiday, it is considered a great sin to refuse to treat destitute people who happened to be nearby. Of course, it may not be worth calling them to the home table, but it’s not difficult to take a few pies and a handful of sweets to the nearest church. Or handing out a chocolate bar to the neighbor's kids is also not a burden. Especially elderly relatives should call and ask about their health. Traditionally, edible gifts were brought at Christmas, not only in the Orthodox, but also in the Catholic world: home-made sweets, and jars of pickles, and cakes are suitable. From inedible, any toys and souvenirs, winter accessories like mittens or scarves, and other little things are suitable.

The 40-day Advent fast (November 28-January 6), intense prayer brought Orthodox people closer to the great celebration. According to strict rules, believers are advised to refuse food until the first star. Only when the first star appears - the symbol of the star of Bethlehem - can you taste the sochi(a lean dish that is most often made from wheat or rice with honey and fruits). Hence the name of this day - Christmas Eve. Sochiv was called not only porridge and any lean food, but also juice; or, as they said before, "milk" of different seeds: poppy, hemp, sunflower, mustard, nut, almond, and others. This "milk" was seasoned with porridge during the 40-day Philippine Fast before Christmas and on Christmas Eve.

Because the Lent ends January 7th and break the fast should be apparently on a grand scale. On the Christmas table, meat, fish, wine and sweets should certainly be in abundance. Traditional dishes for this holiday are jelly, dumplings, baked pig with horseradish, sauerkraut soup, pies with meat, rice or jam. Before a solemn dinner, they used to serve "fat kutya" - crumbly rice or wheat porridge with raisins and honey, poured with melted butter.

They say that on Christmas night it is necessary to wear something new, and if there is none, then at least one white item. In addition, it is known that immediately after Christmas, Christmas time comes, when you can dress up in all sorts of carnival costumes.

Until the first star on Christmas Eve they usually sit in silence and think. Fortunately, in winter, the first star in the sky appears quite early, at about half past six in the evening. Then you have to sit down at the table, have a drink, have a snack and go outside in a good way - sing songs, play snowballs and go sledding. Fiery fun such as salutes and fireworks and bypassing neighbors in order to invite them to have fun together are welcome.

In the churches, a solemn service was going on in the evening hours, and those who did not go to worship were preparing for the rising of the star at home. By this time, all family members dressed in a festive way and gathered together, the table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, served with the best dishes, cutlery, filled with traditional dishes. There were 13 dishes, an even number of people had to sit at the table. In the case when an odd number was collected, one free device was supplied. Under the tablecloth, hay was spread over the entire surface of the table, symbolizing the hay on which the newborn Christ lay in the manger. The table was decorated with spruce branches, candles, ribbons. In the center of the table was a composition of spruce branches, candles and other Christmas attributes. A lovingly decorated Christmas tree was installed in the corner of the room or in its center, and a gift was placed under it for everyone present. In peasant families, while waiting for the star, they all read a prayer together, the elders told the children about the birth of Christ, about the Magi who brought gifts.

The appearance of the first star was eagerly awaited by the children, their joyful announcement of her appearance was the signal for the start of the meal. The meal began with a common prayer, then the most revered female family member (usually the mistress of the house) congratulated everyone on the holiday. For Catholics, the ceremony began with the exchange of a wafer - a symbol of bread, wealth and prosperity. The mistress of the house first shared the wafer with her husband, then with her sons according to seniority, then with her daughters, also according to seniority, with grandchildren and everyone else. This rite ended when all those present exchanged a wafer, wishing each other a Merry Christmas, forgiving all insults. It was a moment of universal reconciliation.

On Christmas Eve, the Orthodox brewed kutya, and the Catholics - Bigilia. Cooked kutya from wheat, peas, rice, peeled barley. Seasoned with honey, poppy, hemp, sunflower or other vegetable oil. The grain was a symbol of resurrecting life, and honey or sweet seasoning meant the sweetness of the blessings of the future blessed life. Christmas kutya was cooked lean. But on the second day of Christmas they prepared "Babin's porridge", or "Babkin's kutya". In ancient times, such porridge was usually brought among the gifts to the house where the newborn appeared. In contrast to the Christmas Lenten kutia, "babkin's porridge" was cooked "rich".

The order of eating was regulated by strict rules: first snacks (herring, fish, salads) were served, then red (slightly warmed) borscht, mushroom or fish soup. For borscht, mushroom soup, ears or pies with mushrooms were served, and for Orthodox succhi - flour cakes fried in hemp oil. At the end of the meal, sweet dishes were served on the table: roll with poppy seeds, gingerbread, honey cakes, cranberry jelly, dried fruit compote, apples, nuts.

At the table, everyone had to taste all the prepared dishes. It was not allowed to express their individual tastes. Such a requirement is a good educational moment for children. The meal was non-alcoholic. All dishes were lean, fried and seasoned with vegetable oil, without a meat base, without milk and sour cream. Hot dishes were not served so that the hostess was constantly at the table.

During the meal, casual conversation was conducted only about good deeds. Despite the fact that it was a purely family holiday, it was considered necessary to invite lonely acquaintances, neighbors (regardless of their religion) to the table. Every random guest sat down at the table, including the beggar. There was a belief that on this day God could appear in the form of a beggar. In general, all religious holiday traditions were aimed at strengthening humanism, a friendly attitude towards each other and towards the environment. On Christmas Eve, the owner congratulated pets on the holiday, treats were also given to homeless animals (a bowl of food was placed on the porch, beyond the threshold).

Then the most fun part of Christmas Eve began - the distribution of gifts. If there were children in the house, one of the household would dress up as Santa Claus - St. Nicholas. He also brought gifts in a bag. Distributing them, he expressed wishes, according to the necessary requirements for the recipient. For children it was a good educational moment, in relation to adults it was colored with a share of a joke. At all most of the traditions and rituals of Christmas were aimed at educating children in self-discipline, attention to those present, observance and participation in the ritual side, patience, endurance. It was one of the few times when children sat down at the table with adults. And as for gifts, it was a good custom to give them to each other, moreover, gifts prepared with one's own hands were valued. They were elegantly decorated with colored paper, sprigs of spruce, ribbons. The content of the gifts was supposed to be a surprise. Everything was shrouded in mystery and uplifting. Gifts immediately unfolded, joy and gratitude to the hostess and to each other overwhelmed the hearts of everyone.

It is on this night before Christmas, according to popular belief, that two forces dominate: good and evil. Whichever person adjoined, she worked wonders with him. One invited to carol and glorify the birth of Christ at the festive table, and the other gathered witches for the Sabbath. Magnified the owners, not sparing generous words. Signs: "If the weather is snowy on Christmas Eve, there will be a harvest for bread." It was believed that on this day, the last before Christmas, snowfall is a sure sign of the prosperity of the economy in the new year. And if it's frosty that day, there will be advice and love in the family. Of course, these signs and prejudices are just an "echo" of pagan celebrations and traditions that have nothing to do with the essence of the great Christian holiday.

The feast of Christmas, according to the teachings of the Church, symbolizes reconciliation of man with God. This is one of the days when with the greatest depth and joy we experience an encounter with God. Christmas heralds the redemptive feat of Christ and the renewal of human nature, struck by the fall of the forefathers.

Orthodox Christmas traditions around the world

Among the peoples of Europe, the days of Christmas celebrations coincided with the twelve-day cycle of pagan festivities dedicated to the winter solstice, which marked the beginning of a new life and the renewal of nature (saturnalia among the Romanesque peoples, winter Christmas time - among Russians, carols - among Ukrainians, etc.). Therefore, in different countries, the Christmas holiday absorbed many of the rites and customs of these festivities. These include carols - costumed processions with a star and chants, an evening meal on Christmas Eve, consisting of 12 Lenten dishes. Ukraine

In Ukraine Christmas celebration begins on Holy evening - January 6th. The evening meal on the eve of Christmas is accompanied by many traditions and rituals. On the eve of Christmas, the church prescribed a strict fast - the whole Christmas day, believers were not allowed to eat or drink. Supper on Holy Evening was the first meal of the day for them - it was the end of the 40-day Advent fast. It was possible to sit down at the table with the appearance of the first star in the sky, in memory of the Bethlehem star, which announced to the shepherds the birth of Christ.

The main dishes for the Ukrainian Holy evening are "kutya - wheat or rice porridge with honey, poppy seeds and raisins, and uzvar - dried fruit compote. In total, there should be 12 lenten dishes on the table on Holy evening, among which in the old days they prepared lean borscht with mushrooms, peas, cabbage soup, fish dishes, dumplings with cabbage, buckwheat porridge, cabbage rolls with rice, lean pancakes, mushrooms, pies.

On the first day of Christmas - January 7, they almost did not visit. Only married children (with a daughter-in-law or son-in-law) were supposed to visit their parents after dinner, they said that they were bringing "grandfather's dinner." From time immemorial in Ukraine, carols were sung - they sang carols. Carols - laudatory ritual songs of the winter cycle - are also popular in modern Ukraine.

Christmas divination is also common among young people. In Ukraine, it is believed that it is on “holy” days that one can most accurately predict the future. Therefore, girls take advantage of the moment and try to predict their fate.

In Belarus, as in Ukraine, Orthodox Christmas is celebrated as a public holiday. Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve is celebrated on January 6th. The name "Christmas Eve" comes from the special food prescribed for this day by the church charter - sochi: soaked and boiled grains of wheat or rice, often with honey, as well as beans, peas and vegetables.

According to tradition, the Christmas Eve dinner is lavish but fast, consisting of 12 courses in honor of the twelve apostles. On this day, upon arrival from the temple after the morning service, believers refrain from eating until the first star appears in the sky, which symbolizes the star that rose over Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Christ.

On the night of January 6-7, Christmas services are held in Orthodox churches. Traditionally, from pre-Christian times in Belarus on January 6-7 - First Kolyada - the end of the six-day fast, the beginning of holidays and evenings. This holiday is known to everyone under the name "Big Kutia", which was celebrated in honor of the winter solstice (December 24, old style).

The second kutya (Generous or Rich Kutya) was celebrated a week later on the eve of the New Year on December 31, according to the old style. The third Kutia completed the holidays of Kolyada on January 6, according to the old style. Russia

Looks like a celebration of Christmas and in Russia. Christmas is preceded by Christmas Eve. According to the monastic charter, on this day it was supposed to eat only juicy - boiled wheat (or rice) with honey at the meal. From this dish comes the name of the holiday.

On the day before Christmas, food and drink could not be consumed until the first star. As soon as the star appeared in the sky, the pre-holiday dinner began. The table was covered with a clean tablecloth, they ate in solemn and strict silence. According to a long tradition, there must be 12 dishes on the Christmas table.

From time immemorial, it has been customary in Russia to dress up at Christmas time, arrange fun games, go home, wake up the sleeping, congratulate everyone you meet on the turning of the sun for the summer, and later, after the adoption of Christianity, Merry Christmas, joke, sing songs. The carols ended with general fun, rollercoaster rides, and a common feast.

In Armenia Christmas is celebrated on January 6, and the Epiphany of Christ is also celebrated on the same day. Preparations for Christmas begin on the evening of January 5, when the Liturgy of Christmas Eve is served. On this day, believers light a candle in the church and carry it home to illuminate the house and prepare for the feast of the Nativity of Christ. The next day, January 6, the Christmas Liturgy is served in the morning. Then they carry out the feast of the baptism of Christ with the ceremony of blessing the water.

In Georgia on Christmas, believers make the procession "Alilo" in accordance with a tradition that has a long history. The main protagonists of the festive procession are "bearers of the good news." They are dressed in white clothes and hymns notify all passers-by about the birth of the Savior.

In Serbia and Montenegro Christmas Eve, January 6, is called "Badnidan". Among religious holidays, it takes an honorable second place after Easter, but among family holidays, Christmas for Serbs is in first place. Christmas in Montenegro (the so-called Bozhich) is a holiday of parents and children.

On this day, before sunrise, the head of the family and his eldest son, with a shot from a gun in front of the house, announce a trip to the forest for "badnyak". Badnjak is a log of a felled young oak, which every Serbian family must have in their home during the Christmas holidays. The log is chosen in such a size and weight that the head of the family himself, on his shoulders, could bring it into the house. According to tradition, it should burn in the family hearth during all three days of the holiday.

The family members left in the house at dawn kindle a fire and start roasting a specially fattened pig for Christmas on a spit - “cookie”, women prepare a Christmas pie, cakes and other dishes.

On the night before Christmas, dinner should be fast. At dawn, church bells ring, people put on festive clothes and go to church for the Christmas Liturgy. After the service, prosphora is taken into the house. Everyone greets each other with the words: “Christ is born!”, And in response they hear: “Truly born!” This greeting is observed until the feast of the Epiphany (January 19).

All members of the family, in anticipation of the Christmas dinner, are treated to hot brandy and dry fruits. Then the owner brings a cookie to the table. The cookie should bring health and well-being to the house. Sauerkraut, stewed cabbage with smoked pork meat, kaymak pie, “prebranac” - boiled beans with vegetable oil and onions, etc. are served at the table.

The culmination of the celebration of Christmas is the refraction of "pogacha" - a homemade Christmas flat cake made from unleavened dough. The hostess kneads the dough for the pie in the morning and puts a gold or silver coin into it.

The owner cuts off the left side of the biscuit, takes out the heart from it and distributes it in pieces to all family members who immediately eat it. Before the start of dinner, the owner of the house lights a candle that is on the table, or a censer, and surrounds the icons and all those present with them, and the children carry the censer around the house. Then everyone sings the festive troparion or "Our Father".

Then it's time to break the pogacha. It is first twirled in a circle, then an incision is made in the form of a cross and wine is poured into the resulting incision, only after that it breaks. Everyone gets a piece of the pie, and whoever gets the coin in the piece is said to be happy for a whole year.

In cities where there are no open hearths, stoves and badnyaks, small “bouquets” of oak branches tied with a bunch of straw are sold in the markets and on the streets before the holiday.

Protection from spirits is bestowed by burning incense or a small offering. Also, in many families, a small wooden cross is decorated with basil and dipped in a flat bowl of water. According to legend, the water becomes holy after this procedure, and then it is sprinkled in the corners of the house to scare away evil spirits.

The Christian holiday of Christmas is celebrated with reverence both in families of the Orthodox and Catholic faiths. The origins go back more than two millennia, to distant centuries, when the Blessed Virgin Mary gave the world her son, Jesus Christ. Catholics celebrate the event in December, while Orthodox do it on the night of January 6-7. But Russia (in the majority) is an Orthodox country, so Russian people are interested in the question, what do Orthodox families do for Christmas? Baptized Rus' has always celebrated this holiday cheerfully. She even decorated the Christmas tree, until the revolutionary events that temporarily deprived the country of holy holidays. To the great joy of the Russian people, a little later, they began to dress her up again.

The meaning of the holiday

What do they do at Christmas? From January 6 to 7, all churches in Russia hold a night service dedicated to the birth of Jesus Christ. In the old days, people did not sit down at tables with food until the first star appeared in the sky. At present, we see this tradition only in the fact that many Russian families sit down at the table on the 7th, after a big service. On the night before Christmas, which must certainly come true.

The Christian holiday of the birth of the Savior coincided with pagan Christmas time, which is why it is always associated with carols and girlish fortune-telling. Christmas is the beginning of 12 holy days, of which every day was lived provocatively and beautifully. Christmas time ended with Baptism (January 18).

At night, during the service, you had to give thanks for what you have, pray for what you lacked, and be sure to remember the departed people. In Rus', it was believed that they pray side by side on this night, and the deceased priest leads the service for them. In the first days of Christmas time, it was necessary to pay tribute to those who needed and deserved it:

The first day was devoted to visiting parents, as well as close and distant relatives within reach. Young people always stayed with their parents for a holiday after the service.
On the second day, people visited the weak, old and sick, brought them treats, kutya.
The third day was dedicated to the orphans, they were treated, given gifts, played.

They did not even forget about those who fell out of decent society, but these were already later days.

After observing the traditions, it was allowed to start festivities and fun. In Rus' there was a belief:

“As you spend the holy days, so will your year pass.”

That is why people tried to spend their time as joyfully as possible: they rode sleighs, troikas. Fun games were arranged on the main square, they sang songs, danced round dances and invented various games and fun for themselves. People of the older generation went to visit each other, congratulated, gave small gifts, often edible.

It was impossible not to treat the caroling person, the owners of the court, who drove the caroling people away, were considered greedy, and the act did not bode well for them.

But the main dish was and remains. According to one version, kutya promised health and wealth: lush, fragrant kutya was good, and thin, not rising, meant not a very good year.

Christmas Eve ends the 40-day Advent (Philippov) Lent. On this day, the main preparations for Christmas are made.

Other names of the holiday: Holy Evening, Sochevnik, Eve of the Nativity of Christ, Kolyada, Christmas Eve. The eve of the holiday is colloquially called Christmas Eve, or Sochevnik. This name comes from a special dish made from wheat, nuts and honey - sochiva.

The tradition of eating this dish on the eve of Christmas was born in memory of Daniel and the three youths, who, according to the Gospel, "ate from the seeds of the earth, so as not to be defiled by a pagan meal." History of Christmas Eve In the Orthodox Church, the celebration of the eve of the Nativity of Christ was established in the 4th century. In the V-VIII centuries, sacred hymns were written, which are used for Christmas services.

At that time, the Royal Hours were performed in the temples. It was customary to proclaim many years to the tsar, his house, and all Orthodox Christians. The name of the holiday comes from the word "juicy" or "juicy". Both of these dishes were prepared on Christmas Eve.

Sochivo was soaked grains of wheat or barley, to which the juice of poppy seeds, sunflower, hemp, mustard, and nuts was added.

Only the addition of a spoonful of honey was allowed to make the meal more nutritious. Sometimes it was replaced with kutya. People used Sochivo on this day in imitation of the biblical prophet Daniel.

This parable refers to the Old Testament times. The pagan Julian the Apostate, wishing to show off the believing fasting people, ordered all the food in the market to be sprinkled with the blood of animals sacrificed to idols. Then the prophet Daniel ordered his youth-novices to eat soaked grains and dried fruits. So the believers were able to avoid taking a defiled pagan meal.
