Dear friends,
We wish you Happy Old New year from Ukraine!
Дорогі друзі,
Зі Старим Новим Роком Вас!
Do you know, how Ukrainians celebrate Old New Year & Malanka?
In this e-mail we give describe Ukrainian Old New Year & Malanka
traditions, rituals and rites
January 13-14 is the Old New Year in Ukraine. January 14 is popular in
Ukrainian culture for meeting and greeting relatives and friends, and
visiting the graves of dead members of the family and, of course,
visiting churches. The tradition to celebrate Old New Year is
associated with the divergence of two calendars: the Julian calendar
“old style” and Gregorian – calendar “new style.” This difference in
the XX-XXI centuries is 13 days since the New Year, Old Style, is
celebrated on the night of January 13 to 14. The beauty of traditions
and rituals is still alive in villages, and the Western Ukraine takes
the lead in celebrating this day with rites.
This old holiday also coincides in Ukraine with Malanka, a traditional
carnival-like holiday from pre-Christian times.
January 14 (January 1, Old Style) Christian Church commemorates St.
Basil the Great, Archbishop of Caesarea Kappodakiyskoyi. In ancient
times, this day was called Vasyliva day and was crucial for the whole
year. The eve (now January 13) is called Vasylivym evening.
Basil evening is popular for eating the best and most delicious food
that is prepared at home: pies, sausage, meat, pancakes, and drinking
beer, wine, and vodka. Mandatory for the New Year’s table are Kutia,
pig, or any dish with pork, because St. Basil is considered the patron
saint of pigs. There is a belief that if the night before Basil’s day
desk is filled with a lot of pork, these animals will multiply in
abundance and offer their owners a good profit.
