Ball Angel

And at the end of our master classes, I would like to show you a knitting pattern for an angel.

With the onset of this winter, we are probably waiting for the arrival of the most fabulous winter miracle - the New Year 2015, and crochet New Year's toys. And the kind that you can't take your eyes off. The family gathers at the table about two hours before the chiming clock, gives gifts and examines what is hanging on the green beauty, and asks who took part in its design. Everyone is happy and having fun, and they also give gifts to adults and children.

A wonderful custom appeared among our ancestors: they began to decorate the Christmas tree about two thousand years ago, and the people of that time firmly believed that spirits lived in every spruce or pine tree, influencing the future of people, setting whether they would harvest bread next year or not, what will grow out of vegetables: at the same time, each person expects only the best from the coming year. Every year, but in mid-December, our ancestors went to the dense forest to coax the spirits there along with the fire. Everyone was looking for a tall and fluffy spruce and on its branches they sent gifts for spirits, which were baked from dough and carved from wood.

Time passed: traveling around European countries, Peter 1 fell in love with the Protestant custom of decorating Christmas trees in the house, so upon returning to Russia he issued a decree: from January 1, 1700, all boyars and nobles were required to celebrate the New Year and decorate Christmas trees.

In the 17th century, there was also an interesting custom that was supported by the Russian Tsar: a Christmas tree was attached to the ceiling with a trunk on Christmas and they were waiting for the holy spirit to descend into the house along it, bringing the good news that the son of God was born. The Christmas tree played the role of a staircase, along which the dead on Christmas allegedly climbed to heaven, so gingerbread and apples were placed on the branches so that the deceased would take them with him on the road.

Then they began to weave toys and so that the deceased would give these souvenirs to the angels, and they would accompany him to the gates of paradise. And now such toys are hung on the Christmas tree, but their goal is different - to decorate the New Year's interior.
