A person's birthday is not only a reason to celebrate. Since ancient times, such days have been used...

On the night of January 13-14, the population of Russia and other former republics Soviet Union note old New Year.

The tradition of celebrating the Old New Year is underway from discrepancy Julian calendar (or otherwise the “old style” calendar) and Gregorian calendar- the one by which almost the whole world now lives. The divergence of calendars in the 20th and 21st centuries is 13 days.

Old New Year is a rare historical phenomenon, an additional holiday that resulted from a change in chronology.

Due to this discrepancy in calendars, we We celebrate two “New Years”- according to the old and new styles. Thus, on the night of January 13-14, everyone can afford to “pre-celebrate” their most favorite holiday. Indeed, for many believers, the Old New Year has special meaning, since they can only celebrate it from the heart after the end of the Nativity Fast.

Interestingly, the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars increases every century, when the number of hundreds in the year of Christ is not a multiple of four, for one day.

Therefore, from March 1, 2100, this difference will be 14 days. And from 2101, Christmas and Old New Year will be celebrated a day later.

Today, the popularity of the Old New Year is growing from year to year, and Russia is no exception. More and more people treat it as an independent holiday that prolongs the charm of the New Year or allows them to feel this charm for the first time... After all, this holiday is calmer, it is not characterized by the bustle that is the inevitable companion of the New Year.

A LITTLE HISTORY:

Once upon a time this day fell on January 1 and was called Vasily's day, and its eve - December 31st became later January 13th - Vasiliev's evening.

According to ancient tradition, New Year's Eve was celebrated “rich” Vasiliev evening. On this day it was customary to generously set the table. Pork dishes were especially prized because Saint Basil the Great was considered the patron saint of pig farmers.

“A pig and a boletus for Vasily’s evening”, “a pig is not a clean animal, but God has nothing unclean - Vasily will sanctify winter!”, say the proverbs about this day. Remember these folk signs when you set the festive table.

There are also folk signs related to this night.

If the sky is clear and starry- there will be a rich harvest of berries. On January 14, gardeners are advised to shake fruit trees, because Saint Basil the Great, according to popular belief, also protects gardens from worms and pests.

On the morning of January 14 you need to walk through the garden with the words of an ancient conspiracy: “As I shake off (name) the white fluffy snow, so Saint Basil will shake off every worm-reptile in the spring!”

Saint Basil the Great is celebrated on the eighth day of Christmastide, at the height of Christmas fortune telling. “If the red maiden makes a wish for Vasily, everything will come true, but what will come true will not pass!” - people said.

According to popular belief, on Vasil-evening The witches steal the moon from the heavens, but still cannot stop the gradually growing day, shortening the long winter night.

On this day early in the morning it was customary to cook Vasiliev’s porridge and watch how it is prepared. If the porridge comes out of the pan, it will be a disaster for the whole house. It was considered a bad omen if a pot or pan in which porridge was cooked cracked. If the porridge is a success, they eat it clean, but if any of them come true bad omens- throw it away along with the pot (preferably into an ice hole, if there is one nearby).

On Vasily's Day, children, young boys and girls went from house to house, begging for pork pies, as well as everything else that their hospitable hosts would treat them to. Everything asked for was collected in a basket and eaten after a successful campaign.
