☦️ Orthodoxy - 'THE ENCHANTING CHRISTMAS CAROLS OF UKRAINE AND TRANSCARPATHIA-KOLYADKI'
One of these Ukrainian Christmas Carols became a legend in AmericaMatfey Shaheen
One of the most beloved Orthodox Christian Christmas traditions is Kolyadki, or Ukrainian and Carpatho-Russian Christmas Carols.
Kolyadki [Колядки, singular Kolyadka, колядка] comes from the Slavonic word Колѧда [Kolyada], possibly relating to the Latin kalendae, and likely the source of the Romanian word for Christmas carols–Colindă.
In Ukraine and Transcarpathia, many nations including Ukrainians, Carpatho-Rusyns, Romanians, Slovaks, and Poles, practice the similar Slavic Christmas tradition of gathering between Christmastide and Epiphanytide, during Svyatki, going house to house, throughout their villages, sharing the joy and good-news of the Nativity in the flesh, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
