Kolyadka vs Shchedrivka
Ukrainian Christmas carols
First of all we need to make it clear that there are two types of songs for winter holidays: kolyadka or carol and shchedrivka.
Carols are traditionally sung on Christmas, January 6-7 and shchedrivky are performed on January 13 (that is December 31 according to the old style).
These two types of songs are different not only by the time they are performed. Carols of kolyadky are mostly about birth of Jesus Christ while shchedrivky were sung an New Year Eve and their sense comes to wishing people joy, wealth and good harvest.
This is an interesting thing that these songs used to be parts of pagan rituals and initially church tried to eliminate them. However, the tradition was too strong and with time it merged with Christian holidays thus creating a unique mixture of old and new religion.
Until XV century Slavic people celebrated New Year in early spring and texts of shchedrisky still have the traces of this tradition. We can hear about birds coming back and birth of domestic animals.
Now, when you know the difference, let’s go!
