Folk games for Christmas. Christmas games and contests for children

Winter shints

Many Russian folk holidays are accompanied by reminiscent of the theatrical representation of actions, often unusual and incomprehensible. Why are people from year to year, from century to century on certain days as if performed by well-learned roles? It is hardly for these and similar questions everything will be able to answer. Most, probably, will say that so, they say, this is the tradition.

Right. Such is the tradition. And her roots leave in the time of gray-haired antiquity, in the time of pagan.

There was time. Along with the development of a person, his religious performances developed. In a single whole, pagan holidays and Christian, adapting to popular life. A series of holidays and memorable dates has become a convenient timeing system for peasants.

The most fun holiday was the shinties. The batch week accounted for a frosty winter season, took place from 07 to 19 January. In fact, it was not one holiday, but a few.

Christmas of Christ - January 07, the New Year, which came to Vasiliev Day - January 14 and Baptism - January 19.

The shints are from the word "saint".

The shints are a bright example of how not only get along, but also intertwined, the Christian and pagan holidays with their rites and traditions merge.

First Holy Holiday -Christmas.

The beginning of the holiday was preceded by a forty-day Christmas post, during which not only it was impossible to "eat soon", but every passion was rebored. Therefore, it is possible to imagine how long the first evening before Merry Christmas.

The Christmas Eve is called Christmas Eve, because on this day "to the first star" the post should be observed particularly strictly, there is nothing but the cochiva - the bread-eyed ceremony with honey.

In the evening, everyone went to the church - to the all-sleeping, during which the people led by the priest committed a congestion. His mandatory attribute was a Christmas lantern - the symbol of the Bethlehem star, which referred to the birthday of Christ's Baby to Him. Returning from the Church home, the whole family sat down at the table.

After the meal, the youth went to Collast. Walked from home to home and sang congratulating songs-carols, in which the owners of the house were famous and contained the prosperity of wealth, harvest, largeness, etc.

Camelade came,

On the eve of Christmas!

I would uncle kindness!

Note money on the pass!

Having issued - you won't give

Will wait,

At the gate stand!

Golden head

Schelkova beard!

You feed the Pie

For the sake of the Holiday Christ

Pie then at least fresh

Although their

Yes Wheat!

Celest

Love more!

Special treats are baked for this holiday - "Kozuli" cookies. The hosts were gifted by cookies, candy, money. If the hosts greeted or did not give anything, then the rounders sang naughty carols with comic threats:

Do not give pir

We are a cow for the horns.

Do not give quask-

We are a pig for the temple.

Do not give a bin

We are the owner in Pink.

Everything that the owners gave, the bole gathered in the bag, and then collectively eaten.

During the density, the density ranked three times: in the Christmas Christmas Eve, under the New Year, in Vasilyev the day and in the Epiphany Christmas Eve.

Often, along with the ranks went rich. The guys, the girls and adults sought to dress up so as not to be recognized: Faces smeared soot, put on masks. Most often changed in animals - bear, goat, bull, horse, etc.

Out without an invitation with noise, the gamas burst into houses, bringing revival and fun in them. Various scenes were played out, which flew spectators who often became participants in the action.

After a stormy Christmas night with a collage, games of the ritual, ritual laughter and fun - the ceremonies of pagan - there was a peaceful morning, bringing with him calm and elevated Christian rites.

The church clergy hurried to circumvent the peasant yards to congratulate the owners of the Merry Christmas of the Lord God and the Savior of our Jesus Christ. A christmas lamp was carried in front of the process.

Following the priests, children and teenagers also walked from the house to the house of chocolate Christ. In each group, any of the guys carried on a long six star, made of foil or colored paper, symbolizing the Bethlehem star.

Entering the hut, the children first performed the trails, and then began to sprinkle everything around and people with grain, which was perceived as the wish of wealth in the coming year.

Second HolidayNew Year, or Vasiliev Day.

He was copious by the old calendar - January 14th. The celebration of the New Year began on the eve of the evening. The youth went to rank. But the New Year's bond was somewhat different from Christmas. Songs had a different chorus: oxen. The title is coming from the word "oxen". This word is associated with the ancient name among Russian people of January - "Prosinets", which means "brighter".

We went, approached the paths,

Hey, oxen, hey, oxen!

We were looking for, I was looking for

And Sergevnin Yard.

We found her courtyard Sceress Moscow,

Sing of Moscow - the gate is red.

New Year was special congratulations.

Sway, I feel, sow

Happy New Year.

For the new year, for new happiness

Breaks wheat, spikes, lentils,

On the field - shocks, on the table - cakes.

On the night of the New Year (Vasilyev evening), a festive table was covered in each family. New Year's feast was especially lush. It was believed that the abundance of dishes would provide the same abundance of products for the whole year.

With Vasilyeva Day began "terrible evenings" - the real rampant rampant strength. It was a time when it could be in contact with her to ask about his destiny. The girls gathered at the gatherings and arranged fortune telling. Of course, it was a sinful and dangerous thing, but so I wanted to know what is waiting ahead, learn about personal happiness.

Devils, left,

Demons, devils,

Come burn!

Narrowed, rich,

Come to join me

Quality me, taking me.

Adults were wondering, but the questions of the spirits were others: about the crop, about the rating of livestock, which promises the future - wealth or poverty, health or illness ...

There were many divination methods. But the main thing is to push the "sign" correctly, which is submitted by unclean power.

Epiphany - The third holiday of the shin.

On the eve of the baptism, the third time ranged, the festive table was covered. In the baptism of sanctified water, all sins were washed - "cleared".

Epiphany Christmas Eve is the main day of the soda fortune.

The girls guess their fate:

Cockerel, Cockerel,

Golden scallop,

You are on the floor

And my fate find.

With the help of fortune telling, they tried to find out when it was destined to marry, whether it was to have a wealth or poverty.

In the shit, the guys looked out for their brides, because after the holidays it began to be weddings. The girls peered at the gatherings, playing, and to draw attention to themselves, organized dance.

The shinties have ended with their fun, fortune telling, rhodation, festive carelessness and mischief.

"At the time of my student, I really deftly conducted one trick with all those who wanted to know the name of their narrowed, which I, in turn, learned to the company of the same curious girls of my older sister in the company. And the whole focus is actually very simple, like all Ingenious. For the success of this event, a bathroom is needed or simply a sink with a small piece of soap, preferably completely flat, although anyone is suitable for the lack of another. Well, and the rest, that is, a flock of thirsty truth, I think there is also a matchbox, After all, the candles need to be lit, so buy in advance. And when all this is ready, everyone gathered, everyone has already exhausted their knowledge in the field of Christmas ghosts, you, as if by the way, you can ask: "And I can say how to call her husband Any of you ". In response, you can hear anything: surprise, distrust, etc. But necessarily someone will interest it. It all starts. You can still say your intriguing phrase, Nothing On the inside of your forearm (from the brush to the elbow) the cooked pasting of any male name. It is necessary to make it a rib slightly wet soap so that the hand remains dry. If you did not have time to do this in advance, then after you all interested, do somehow so that you need to go out (get the match, hairstyles, in the end, go to the toilet), just do not say that you need to prepare for fortunening, it can alert the most suspicious, and there are always such everywhere. When you delete, you need to write any male name or the name of the alleged groom that the first was called. When you return to everyone, it is necessary to offer to everyone with a serious look to focus and in no case laugh, in general, to impose fog. Then suggest a girl for whom fortune-telling will be carried out, burn 5-20 matches (how much soul will wish, but not less than 5) and spread completely burnt matches on your prepared forearm. When the girl will burn matches, she must fully focus on his future, as she sees it (or come up with something interesting again for the same fog). Then, with no less focusing, it is necessary to confuse the burnt matches right on your hand (cruel, but what you can't do for laughter), with each of its movement on your hand will peck the name you have previously written. You can believe, even the most skeptical persons will believe and want to do it yourself, and may not be one time. For the second and subsequent times, you will not need to look for an excuse to remove to cherished water and soap to write a cherished name for the next girl. It is desirable that no one knows this joke besides you, but it is not so important if that person is your ally. It is also important to be absolutely serious and even, maybe, indifferent, in no case laugh. When everyone is satisfied, you can and tell about everything, unless you want to keep the monopoly also for the next year. In my case, from the very beginning there was most skeptics, and began everything because of curiosity. And at the end, even the most ardent skeptics so broke up and seriously believed. Doubts from them remained even after I honestly told them. But in general, everyone was satisfied, and that the most interesting, even after my recognition, everyone was told that their narrowed would be called exactly how I predicted. I wish you all good luck in holding this fortune telling! "...
