Christmas carols are interesting for teenagers. Costumes for carols. Simple and short Russian folk carols, texts

Many ancient traditions are associated with the celebration of the Nativity of Christ, one of which - the performance of Christmas carols - is especially popular with children.

Christmas Carols are glorious songs, a kind of Christmas carol. Their main goal is to wish for health, wealth, and also to praise the Infant Christ and his Most Pure Mother - the Virgin Mary.

At present, this wonderful and kind tradition is fading into oblivion. In Russian villages, you can still find noisy youth singing cheerfully to the owners of the house, but in cities, this entertainment is mainly for children who go from door to door collecting sweets for wishes of well-being in the coming year.

But we are sure that interest in Christmas carols will still revive, so we have prepared the best Christmas Carols for both the smallest children, children of primary and secondary school age, as well as for adolescents and young people.

About carols and traditions of their performance

Carols date back to the days of paganism. There are several versions of their appearance. There is an assumption that in ancient times, even before Christianity, carols were directly associated with the cult of the Sun. In those days, people's lives directly depended on the amount of the harvested crop. In fact, carols were originally an appeal to pagan gods, to the forces of nature. Their main content is the wish for a rich harvest and well-being in the new year.

After the adoption of Christianity, ordinary people gradually transferred the caroling ceremony to Christmas. The songs themselves have changed. Now, instead of referring to pagan deities and nature, biblical images were glorified. As a rule, the rhythm of the songs was uncomplicated, which made them easy to remember. They started caroling from Christmas night until Epiphany. Both adults and children came out to sing songs.

Carollers walked around the village, chose a house and, stopping under the windows, began to praise the owners. They played out whole performances: they put on costumes, masks, memorized poems and songs in advance. And if something was forgotten, then, under the general laughter, they added their own. The owners did not skimp on treats, which, under the general noise, were folded into large bags prepared in advance. It was customary to generously present guests. The carolers ate everything together at the end of the day. They believed that the more caroling people look into the house, the more prosperous life there will be in the new year.

The goat was considered one of the symbols of the holiday. People believed that she would be able to ward off evil spirits from home and contribute to well-being. Usually they chose the most active and cheerful guy, who was dressed up in a goat costume. And he was already dashingly dancing in front of the owners of the dwelling and other carols. It was believed that the more interesting and fun it is to spend this holiday, the more fertile and successful the next year will be.
