Silence in Bethlehem

Silence in Bethlehem
Meadows sleep and herds sleep.
The night is as bright as ever
There is a bright star in the sky
Illuminates everything around
Rivers, mountains, forest and meadow.

Chorus:
Peace and joy, peace and joy,
Peace and joy to all now.
Peace and joy in every heart,
In every heart is Bethlehem.

"To burn like a star,
We haven't seen it anywhere."
The shepherds said
Resting by the river.
Suddenly, their fire went out -
The angel spread its wings.

"Oh, don't be afraid, shepherds,
God came down to forgive sins.
He is born in a den today" -
And the angel said the name.
And all around sang
Sky, mountains, forest and meadow.

The shepherds entered the den,
God was found in a manger.
Next to the Virgin Mother sat,
She looked at her child.
And all around shone:
Sky, mountains, forest and meadow.

The sparrow is flying
twirls its tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables
Receive guests
Meet Christmas"
Like it's cold outside
Freezes the nose.
Does not tell you to stand for a long time,
Orders to submit soon
Or a warm pie
Or butter, cottage cheese,
Or money with a spear,
Or a silver ruble!

Christ the Savior
Born at midnight.
In a poor place
He settled.
Over that place
The star is shining.
Lord Christ,
On your birthday.
Give to all people
Peace and forgiveness!

caroling, caroling
I will go to any hut.
Ask the hostess
- Come on, goodies!
And cookies and sweets
And with nuts sherbet,
Pastila and marmalade -
I will be glad to all guests.
I will feed everyone
And praise the owner!

Good evening, generous evening,
kind people on health.
The falcon has flown
Sat on the window
Kroil sukontse.
And the rest of the owners for hats,
And the trimmings and the belts,
Hello, Happy Holidays!

On a starry night, Christ is born.
In a simple manger he was laid.
An angel descended from heaven into the field,
He told the shepherds the message:
“Rejoice all - Christ is born.
In a manger simple was laid "
Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest!
Goodwill to all people!
The angelic choir sang a song,
Peace on earth proclaimed.

The night is silent, the night is holy
People are sleeping, the distance is clear;
Only in the barn the light burns;
There the holy couple does not sleep,
In the manger the Child is dozing. In the manger the Child is dozing.

The night is silent, the night is holy
The height lit up
Light angel from heaven
He brought the news to the shepherds:
“Christ is born to you! Christ is born to you!”

The night is silent, the night is holy
A star is burning in the sky;
Shepherds are on their way
They hurry to come to Bethlehem:
They will see Christ there. They will see Christ there.

The night is silent, the night is holy
Happiness awaits all hearts.
God, let me come to Christ,
Find joy in it.
Glory forever, Christ! Glory forever, Christ!

A carol comes to us
On the eve of Christmas.
Asks, asks carols
At least a piece of the pie.
Who will give the pie to the carol,
He will be in everything!
That cattle will be healthy
The barn will be full of cows
Who will hold his piece,
The whole year will be lonely.
Will not find luck, happiness,
The year is wasted in bad weather.
Don't feel sorry for the pie
Otherwise, you will create a debt!
At the hour of the Great Kolyada
We bake pies
At the hour of the Great Kolyada,
And let's go family to family,
Let's bring joy to people.
Let's praise Christ
Let the soul sing in the body
Let good go with good
Happiness brings light
Our savior and creator,
Miracle light blacksmith,
We glorify you
Be with us always.
We wish at this hour
To have everything for you
And patience and peace
To appreciate life.

carol, carol,
Come from afar
Once a year
Let's love the hour.
With frost crackling,
With prickly cold,
With white snows
With a blizzard, with blizzards.
Scooters - sleds
Ride yourself -
From village to village
The carol is fun.
We sow, we blow snow
On a silk bed.
The snow is falling
The blizzard will break out!
Give it to you, master
In the new year:
On the field - offspring,
On the threshing floor - ground,
You will give us
We will praise
And you won't give
We will scold.

Or a slice of bread
Or half the money
Or a chicken with a crest,

To carolers!

Give me a head of cheese.
Once you have a daughter

Get out of the house.

To marry girls.

Who will give us a pie
That is a full barn of cattle,
Sheep with oats
A stallion with a tail.
Who will not give a pie -

Pest and shovel
Humpback cow.

Carry the caravan!
Take out the muffin
And spelled with butter.
Everything will return a hundredfold,
May your house be rich.

Let's not stand!

I want a pie!

Carols sing about the Great Miracle
We are familiar from birth with his face.

That he was born and lived among us,
We all remember at Christmas time.

The Teacher was sent to our world with teaching,
For sinners, a kind and wise Savior.

He was born and lived in the name of the people,
He was the eternal guardian of our family!

Raise a glass to the glory of Christ
Praise to his courage, kind word!

Let the Son of God keep us forever!
Be valiant, faithful to him, man!

An angel came down to us from heaven
And Jesus said was born.
We came to glorify him
And congratulate you on the holiday.

We began to return to our roots. Increasingly in Orthodox families The feast of the Nativity of Christ rightfully began to take its traditional place. Our ancestors strictly observed the rules for celebrating the Nativity of Christ.

The hostesses beautifully laid tables and prepared the best treats, did not forget about the poor, sick, needy people: they visited orphanages, shelters, hospitals, prisons. In ancient times, at Christmas time, even kings dressed as commoners went to prisons and gave alms to prisoners.

On Christmas Eve, they began to decorate Christmas trees, probably not everyone knows that spruce is a symbol of eternal life, perpetuity.
After the solemn Christmas service, all Orthodox began to congratulate each other on the holiday. In the afternoon we sat down at the table.

A special tradition of Christmas time in Rus' was caroling, or glorification. In the villages and villages on the streets one could meet glorifiers. Young people and children dressed up, walked around the yards with a large homemade star, singing church hymns - the troparion and kontakion of the holiday, as well as spiritual carols dedicated to the Nativity of Christ.

This tradition is called Christmas carols. The caroling ended with general fun, rollercoaster rides, and a common feast.

In the evening, the merriment spilled out into the streets and continued for another twelve days - until the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. These twelve days are popularly known as Svyatki. Holy days consecrated by the Nativity of Christ.

Carol (from the Latin "calenda" - the name of the first day of the month among the ancient Romans) is a ritual song with the wishes of wealth, good health, good harvest. Carols were sung at Christmas time, mostly on the night before Christmas. The hosts brought treats to carolers, and they wished them all the best.

History of caroling in Russia

It was originally associated with pagan gods. Used to go caroling every day winter solstice. Among the Slavs, this particular day was the Nativity of the Deity - the Sun.

Carolers walked the streets, sang ritual songs and announced to everyone about the birth of the Sun. Later, with the penetration of Christianity, caroling was timed to coincide with the Nativity of Christ. So, biblical motifs appeared in carols, and people began to glorify the birth of Christ.

The night is silent, the night is holy
People are sleeping, the distance is clear;
Only in the cave a candle burns;
There the holy couple does not sleep,
In the manger the Child slumbers, in the manger the Child slumbers.

The night is silent, the night is holy
The height lit up
A bright angel flies from heaven,
He brings the news to the shepherds:
“Christ was born to you, Christ was born to you!”

The night is silent, the night is holy
A star is burning in the sky;
Shepherds are on their way
They hurry to come to Bethlehem:
There they will see Christ, there they will see Christ.

The night is silent, the night is holy
Happiness awaits all hearts.
God, let everyone come to Christ,
To find the joy of light in Him.
Forever be glorified, Christ, be glorified forever, Christ!

* * *
Bethlehem stands in the country of Judea,
The star above the den shines low.
The skies are shining, the angels are singing

The shepherds guarded the flock in the field,
The Blessed Virgin was found in a cave.
And they came to the cave to feed the herd.
And they look in the manger - there Mother of God.

Little Baby swaddled in swaddling clothes
The Most Pure Virgin has in her arms, -
Pressed to the chest and feeds him
And gently caresses his Son.

O Lord God our Creator,
You bless us all for every hour.
The skies are shining, the angels are singing
Glory is given to the eternal God.

* * *
Christmas - An angel has arrived.
He flew across the sky, singing songs to people:
- All people rejoice, celebrate this day -
Today is Christmas!

I'm flying from God, I brought joy to you,
That Christ was born in a poor den.
Hurry up, meet the baby
Newborn.

Shepherds from the East came first,
In a manger on the straw the Baby was found.
Stood, wept, glorified Christ
And His Holy Mother.

And the Magi, seeing bright star,
They came to worship God and the King.
They bowed to God, they gave gifts to the Tsar:
Gold, myrrh and Lebanon.

And Herod, rebellious, learned about Christ,
Soldiers sent to kill all babies.
Babies killed, swords blunted
But Christ was in Egypt.

We have sinned a lot, Savior before You.
We are all sinful people, You are the only Saint.
Forgive our sins, give us forgiveness.
Today is Christmas!
Carol, carol!
And sometimes carols
On Christmas Eve
Kolyada has come
Brought Christmas.

Gather up villagers
Let's go with carols!
Open the chest
Get a piglet!
Open up, peddlers,
Get your pennies!
Come, don't be shy
Now let's entertain the people.
And who does not want anyone
Let him laugh for a penny!

The night is silent, the night is holy
There is light and beauty in the sky.
God's Son is wrapped in swaddling clothes,
In the Bethlehem den lies.
Sleep, Holy Child,
Sleep, Holy Child.

The night is silent, the night is holy
And bright and clean.
Praises the joyful choir of angels,
Far announcing space
Over the sleeping earth.
Over the sleeping earth.

The night is silent, the night is holy
We sing Christ.
And with a smile the baby looks,
His gaze speaks of love
And shines with beauty.
And shines with beauty.

An angel came down to us
And he sang: "Christ is born!"
We came to glorify Christ
And congratulate you on the holiday.

Here we go, shepherds,
All our sins are forgiven.
We rule our way to the house,
We praise Christ God.

This night is holy, this night is salvation
Announced to the whole world
The Mystery of the Incarnation.

That night, the shepherds did not sleep near the flock.
A bright angel flew to them
From heavenly light gave.

Great fear seized those children of the desert,
But he said to them: oh, do not be afraid -
The whole world is joy now.

Where Christ was born to save people,
you go look
To great humility.

And suddenly a song was heard from the heights of heaven:
Glory, glory to God in the highest,
Goodwill on earth

Here is a spruce in the forest, how green
And how beautiful she is
But how beautiful she is
When the house is full of candles,
She shines bright.

One of those happy nights
The Lord Jesus was born.
He is the one who redeemed the people,
After all, without Him in its darkness
This world is lost.

For all who believe in Christ,
And at night the light shines.
And this night is holy to us
May the joy of all be pure,
Jesus is here.

Let Him, child, into your home:
He lives in the heart
He wants to make a garden in it,
Enrich him with fruit
Who lets him into the house.

Children's carols for Christmas evening: lyrics

You will give us
we will praise
and you won't give
we will reproach!
Carol, carol!
Give me the pie!

little boy
Sat on a sheaf
plays the pipe,
Carol amuses.
Avsen, avsen,
Tomorrow is a new day!
Don't stand at the gate
Tomorrow New Year!

For a new summer for you,
For a red summer!
Where is the horse's tail -
There is a bush.
Where is the goat's horn -
There's a stack of hay.

How many donkeys
So many pigs for you;
How many trees
So many cows;
How many candles
So many sheep.
Happiness to you
owner with hostess
Great health
Happy New Year
With all kind!
Carol, carol!

Shchedryk-Petryk,
Give me a dumpling!
a spoonful of porridge,
Top sausages.
It's not enough
Give me a piece of fat.
Take it out quickly
Don't freeze the kids!

The sparrow is flying
twirls its tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables
Receive guests
Meet Christmas!

Today the walk
divination,
skating!
Pancakes, pies, tea party,
And pranks and dates.
Winter is rushing us - hurry!
Hurry to see
hear,
participate!
Dress up and get out of the houses,
Carol, dance, joke!

There is good fun:
Who will get the rooster
On a high pole
Conquer the height!
Who's in the bag without stopping
Will be able to jump smartly
Who can break the pot -
Will not regret anything!
We are waiting on the stage of the good fellows -
amateur singers,
Balagurov and dancers,
Harmonists and reciters!

Christmas carol came
On the eve of Christmas.
Give me a cow, a butter head,
And God forbid the one who is in this house,
The rye is thick for him, the rye is supper:
Him with an ear of octopus,
From the grain of his carpet,
From half-grain - a pie.
The Lord would give you
And life, and being, and wealth
And reward you, Lord,
Even better than that!

Carol goes on holy evenings,
A carol comes to Pavly-village.
Gather up villagers
Let's go with carols!
Open the chest
Get a piglet!
Open up, peddlers,
Get your pennies!
Come, don't be shy
Now let's entertain the people.
Who will be the devil, and who will be the goblin!
And who does not want anyone
Let him laugh for a penny!

Carols for Christmas

After the appearance of the first star in the sky on Christmas Eve, which symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ, children and adults dress up in costumes, go from house to house and sing Christmas carols.

Nevertheless, the peak of caroling falls on Christmas itself on January 7th. According to tradition, they go caroling for a reason, but disguised and always with a six-eight-pointed star. Before you sing a carol, be sure to get permission from the owner of the house. Of course, you can not refuse, but it is accepted.

In their chants, carolers praise the already born Jesus, wish good and all the best to the owner and his house. It is customary to present guests with sweets, various goodies and small money.

The editors of the site have collected for you the best carols in Russian and Ukrainian, which you can easily learn.

Carols in Russian

Christmas carol was born
Christmas Eve
Behind the mountain, behind the steep
Behind the river behind the fast
Behind the mountain, behind the steep
Behind the river behind the fast
The forests are dense,
In those forests the fires are burning,
Fires are burning blazing
People are standing around the lights
People stand caroling:
"Oh carol, carol,
You happen, carol,
Before Christmas."

The moon shone in the sky, showed us the way, the way
Top-bottom - closest to the house.
Come out, master, on the porch, pour wine into a glass.
We will not drink wine - we will anoint our lips,
We'll anoint your lips - we'll tell you about your house.
Your house has four corners,
In every corner - three fellows:
Good, Comfort, Peace live.
A girl walks from corner to corner -
A braid spreads along the floor -
The girl is called - Love,
It is on it that your roof rests!
If you generously reward us, -
Keep happiness in the house!
Let's leave with gifts from the yard -
Bins will be full!
At least a candy, at least a nickel -
We won't just leave!

An angel came down to us
And he sang: "Christ is born!"
We came to glorify Christ
And congratulate you on the holiday.
Here we go, shepherds,
All our sins are forgiven.
We rule our way to the house,
We praise Christ God.
So it happened in the white world
For many years in a row
On such a wonderful, good evening
Angels fly from heaven to us
They bring goodness, hope,
Blessing in every home
Happy new year everyone
And Merry Christmas!

Christ the Savior
Born at midnight.
In the den of the poor
He settled.
Here above the nativity scene
The star is shining.
Christ Lord,
On your birthday.
Give to all people
World of Enlightenment!

Kolyada-molyada
Rolled young!
We found a carol
In the Mironov yard.
Hey, uncle Myron,
Take out the good in the yard.
Like it's cold outside
Freezes the nose.
Does not tell you to stand for a long time,
Orders to submit soon
Or a warm pie
Or butter, cottage cheese,
Or money with a spear,
Or a silver ruble!

Christmas, an angel has arrived,
He flew across the sky, sang a song to people:
"You people, rejoice, triumph all day,
It's Christmas Day!"
The shepherds were the first to come to the cave
And they found the baby God with the Mother,
They stood, prayed, bowed to Christ -
Today is Christmas Day!
We have all sinned, Savior, before You,
All of us, people, are sinners - You are the only Saint.
Forgive sins, give us leave -
Today is Christmas Day!

The night is silent, the night is holy
There is light and beauty in the sky.
God's Son is wrapped in swaddling clothes,
In the Bethlehem den lies.
Sleep, Holy Child,
Sleep Holy Child.
The night is silent, the night is holy
And bright and clean.
Praises the joyful choir of angels,
Far announcing space
Over the sleeping earth
Over the sleeping earth.
The night is silent, the night is holy
We sing Christ.
And with a smile the baby looks,
His gaze speaks of love
And shines with beauty
And shines with beauty.

Celebrate, have fun
Good people with me
And clothe yourself with delight
In the robe of holy joy.
Now God has appeared in the world -
God of gods and King of kings.
Not in a crown, not in purple
This Heavenly Priest.
He was not born in the wards
And not in clean houses.
There was no gold to be seen
Where He lay in swaddling clothes.
Incompatible He fit
In a cramped manger, like a poor man.
Why was He born?
Why is it so poor?
To save us
From the devil's nets
Exalt and glorify
Us with your love
We will always praise God
For such a day of celebration!
Allow me to congratulate you
With day Christmas!
We wish you a lot of summer
Many, many, many years.

The night is silent, the night is holy
The height lit up
Bright Angel from heaven
He brought the news to the shepherds:
"Christ was born to you! Christ was born to you!"

The night is silent, the night is holy
A star is burning in the sky;
Shepherds are on their way
They hurry to come to Bethlehem:
They will see Christ there. They will see Christ there.

The night is silent, the night is holy
Happiness awaits all hearts.
God, let me come to Christ,
Find joy in it.
Glory forever, Christ! Glory forever, Christ!

In the old days, winter was the time when all the work in the fields was already done, the supplies were prepared, it remains only to wait for the New Year and Christmas holidays with their charms: decorating the Christmas tree with the whole family, Christmas fortune-telling, cooking twelve dishes for Christmas and much more. But don't forget one more thing. ancient rite, which people honor to this day: on Christmas, gather in groups, dress up in different themed costumes, go from house to house and carol!

What is the history of the carol holiday?

The ritual of singing Christmas carols combines old pagan traditions and new Christian ones. The ancient Slavs believed and glorified the god Kolyada, so every Christmas from January 6 to 7, whole families caroled.

And here is the legend itself: on the day of the winter solstice, according to legend, the Korotun serpent ate the Sun, but so that people would not be left without light and warmth, the good goddess Kolyada in the waters of the Dnieper gave birth to a new Sun, little Bozhich. Further, it was necessary to protect the new sun by all means from evil forces. Therefore, people went from house to house with the image of the earthly Luminary and conveyed this happy news to them. With the appearance of the first star in the sky, they called the owner of the house and sang praising songs to him. They began to be called carols.

When do the carols start?

Now carols are sung on Christmas night (from the sixth to the seventh of January). As soon as the first star appears in the sky, everyone sits down at the table to praise the birth of Christ. When the first spoonful of festive kuti is tested, the holiday has just begun! It's time to go caroling. This tradition is especially loved by residents of small towns and villages, because there people know each other and are waiting for acquaintances with gifts.

How to properly carol at Christmas?

In order to properly carol, there are several rules and special attributes, without which the ritual will be incomplete.
First of all, you need to gather a company of several people and distribute them by roles. You need to choose the one who will carry the bag of gifts. After all, in every house the owner, who wants peace and prosperity for his house for the whole coming year, should bestow caroling gifts. Usually carolers are given sweets, but sometimes even money.

Next, prepare costumes: goats (she is considered a symbol of fertility and a rich harvest, they choose funny guy, who will fervently dance in front of the owners and thus drive away evil spirits from the house), a bear, buffoons, angels. The company should be as diverse as possible!

One of the main attributes of the mummers is the Star, because it was the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem that marked the Nativity of Christ. For caroling, the star needs to be made as visible and bright as possible - fix it on a long stick, decorate it with ribbons, garlands and shiny foil. It will be noticeable to everyone from afar that the time has come to prepare gifts.

In the old days, it was believed that the more rays a star had, the happier the wishes would be. Also, it was often decorated with paintings with religious subjects, and candles were placed in the middle. Usually, small stars were worn by kids, while young people tried to make them more complex: they star of bethlehem spinning around its axis, sparkled and was decorated with ribbons and braids of the finest workmanship.

If possible, you also need to make a small nativity scene - portable puppet show with biblical characters and Christmas stories, you can easily do it yourself. Ask the children to start with animal figurines.

Now the main part is to learn Christmas carols:

Good evening to you, my lord, rejoice,
Cover the tables, that's all with kilims, rejoice,
Oh, rejoice, earth, the Son of God was born.
And put rolls with hot wheat, rejoice,

What is sung about in carols?

Most carols are the result folk art, that is, they more than ever brightly and accurately reflect the life and worldview of our people. In Christmas songs, the motives for the creation of the world are traced, plots of rural labor, Cossack campaigns are described, and even the time of Kievan Rus is described.

Carols also praise human labor, kindness, justice and happiness.

Christmas is bright, cozy and family celebration. IN Christian tradition it symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ, who was destined to give his life to atone for human sins. Christmas brings hope for the best and faith in goodness, therefore, regardless of our attitude to religion, many people try to adhere to beautiful Christmas traditions and customs.

On the eve of Christmas, on Christmas Eve (Holy Evening) - January 6, all households gather at a generous table, which should have 12 dishes. This is the last day of the 40-day fast, so the food should be lean and consist of vegetables and fruits. The number 12 itself also has a symbolic meaning: these are the 12 apostles of Christ in the Last Supper, and 12 months of the year. Kutia and uzvar are the main dishes on the Christmas table.

As soon as the first star appears, festive dinner which could last from 2 to 4 hours. After the meal, caroling began. The ritual of caroling came to us from the ancient Slavs and was associated with the winter solstice and the birth of the god Kolyada. The carolers dressed up in costumes and walked around the yards, announcing the birth of the new Sun with carol songs. With the adoption of Christianity, caroling was preserved, but it was already glorifying the birth of Christ.

They went caroling in groups, among which was a star-carrier who carried a star, a ringer with bells to notify everyone that carolers were coming and a fur-bearer who carried a bag for gifts. The carolers praised Christmas and wished well-being and prosperity to the owners of the house. No one dared to drive away carolers, as this was considered a great sin.

Today you can support the good tradition of caroling with children. They can make a star out of cardboard, take a bell and a bag for gifts, learn a few carols and sing them to relatives and neighbors. Remind them that they must first ask the owners for permission and wish them well and well.
