Пояснення:Kolyady has long been the main winter holiday in our land. Earlier this holiday symbolized the beginning of a new year: both agricultural and solar. The Belarusian people started celebrating Kolyady on January 6 and ended the celebration on January 19 . For Kolyady, as for many other holidays, preparations were made in advance: they slaughtered a pig (and peasants, especially the poor, rarely ate meat and this holiday was one of those periods when they could eat plenty of it), cleaned their houses properly, sewed new beautiful clothes and went to the bathhouse to wash up thoroughly and be neat and tidy for the holiday.Maslenitsa is one of the oldest Slavic festivals. This holiday has never been marked on the calendar, as it has no definite date, and it’s celebrated eight weeks before Easter. Lent begins one week after Maslenitsa. The church calendar marks this holiday as Cheese-fare Week. Peasants treated this holiday reverently and prepared for it in advance.
