This year, it is important to incorporate an element from traditional Kalyady or other Christmas traditions. This could include a song or music, masks, the use of ritual elements in modern life, or even Kaliady characters.
Kaliady is a traditional winter holiday. Among the annual cycle of folk agricultural rituals and celebrations, it held the top position. With the establishment of Christianity, it became associated with the religious holidays of Christmas and Epiphany. In Belarus, the Christian customs of celebrating Kalyady are closely intertwined with folk traditions and festivities.
We invite you to watch videos from the Tradycyja project, dedicated to Belarusian Kaliady.
