Where did the custom of celebrating the New Year come from?
The history of this wonderful holiday dates back at least 25 centuries. This custom was first born in Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia). Here, as well as in the lower Nile valley, civilization was first born at the end of the 4th millennium BC. It was here, according to scientists, that the New Year began to be celebrated for the first time (in the third millennium).
Slide 4
During excavations of ancient Egyptian pyramids, archaeologists found a vessel on which was written: “The beginning of the new year.” In Ancient Egypt, the New Year was celebrated during the flood of the Nile River (around the end of September). The Nile flood was very important because... Only thanks to him did grain grow in the dry desert. On New Year's Day, statues of the god Amun, his wife the sky goddess Mut and his son, the moon god Khonsu, were placed in a boat. The boat sailed along the Nile for a month, which was accompanied by singing, dancing and fun. The statues were then brought back into the temple.

Ancient Rome
For a long time, the Romans celebrated the New Year in early March, until Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar (now called the Julian). Thus, the first day of January became the date of the New Year. The month of January was named after the Roman god Janus (two-faced). One face of Janus was supposedly turned back to the past year, the other - forward to the new one. The New Year's holiday was called "Kalends". During the holiday, people decorated their houses and gave each other gifts and coins with the image of the two-faced Janus; slaves and their owners ate and were merry together. The Romans gave gifts to the emperor. At first this happened voluntarily, but over time the emperors began to demand gifts for the New Year.

Slide 6
The Celts, the inhabitants of Gaul (the territory of modern France and part of England) celebrated the New Year at the end of October. The holiday was called Samhain from “summer's end” (end of summer). On New Year's Day, the Celts decorated their homes with mistletoe to drive out ghosts. They believed that it was on New Year's Day that the spirits of the dead came to the living.
Celtic New Year
The Celts inherited many Roman traditions, including the requirement of New Year's gifts from their subjects. Usually they gave jewelry and gold. Centuries later, thanks to this tradition, Queen Elizabeth I amassed a huge collection of embroidered and bejeweled gloves.
Slide 7
New Year in Rus'
In Rus', the New Year was celebrated on March 1. In the 14th century, the Moscow Church Council decided to consider September 1 as the beginning of the New Year according to the Greek calendar. The last time the New Year was celebrated on September 1 in Rus' with royal pomp was in 1698. Giving everyone an apple, the king called everyone brother and congratulated them on the New Year and new happiness. In 1699, Peter I, returning from a trip to Europe, with a special decree, ordered that “from now on summers should be counted” from January 1: “Since in Russia they count the New Year differently, from now on stop fooling people and count the New Year everywhere from the first January.

HISTORY OF THE NEW YEAR TREE
The Christmas tree, an integral attribute of the winter holidays, also arrived in Russia along with Peter’s reforms. However, the “stranger” who arrived, although not immediately, took root firmly in the Russian soil - as if she had always grown here: from the branches with which the houses were decorated, a luxurious tree in festive decoration grew.
Slide 12
By the middle of the 19th century, the winter beauty had become familiar to city dwellers, although in the villages such an “ancient folk custom” was not yet known. But this tree was not yet a New Year's tree - it was called a Christmas tree and was decorated with toys, delicacies intended as gifts for guests, and candles, and the top of it was crowned with an eight-pointed Christmas star - silver or gold. In Russian Orthodoxy, a tradition arose of decorating churches with coniferous branches on Christmastide (from the Nativity of Christ to Epiphany); the tree itself became a prototype of the tree of paradise with the fruits of knowledge and the Tree of the Cross, and evergreen pine needles became a symbol of immortality. However, not everyone remembered the symbolic side, and adults at Christmas parties sometimes behaved worse than children...
Slide 13
The prototype of the modern Santa Claus was a very real person. In the 4th century, Archbishop Nicholas lived in the Turkish city of Myra. He was a very kind man, and for his good deeds Nicholas was declared a saint after his death. But in the 11th century, the church where he was buried was robbed by pirates. They stole the remains of the saint and took them to their homeland. The parishioners of St. Nicholas Church were outraged. The story made so much noise that Nicholas became the object of veneration and worship of Christians from around the world.
In the Middle Ages, a custom was established: On St. Nicholas Day, December 19, to give gifts to children, just as the Saint did. After the introduction of the new calendar, the Saint began to come to children at Christmas, and only then at New Year. In England and America, this good Saint is called Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas).
Father Frost
Slide 14
The ancestor of our dear Father Frost is the East Slavic spirit of cold Treskun, Moroz, Studenets. More often, Frost preferred to have fun crunching snowballs, knocking on the walls of houses, making travelers shiver from the cold (he especially loved to freeze those sitting in a sleigh, wrapped in a fur coat, and those who ran on foot or waved an ax were not easy for Frost) . This is how Frost appears in the literature of the 19th century. - “Red Nose Frost” by Nekrasov and old man Moroz in “The Snow Maiden” by Ostrovsky.
When Russia began to celebrate the New Year, an old grandfather with a beard and wearing felt boots began to appear in houses. But then Santa Claus was not cheerful and good-natured. He had a bag in one hand and a stick in the other. He gave gifts, of course, but only to smart and obedient children; the rest got a good beating with a stick. But the years passed, and Santa Claus grew older and kinder, stopped handing out blows, and simply intimidated naughty children with scary fairy tales.
Slide 15
Slide 16
But at the end of the 19th century he was dressed in a red fur coat trimmed with fur. What is he like now? A little harsh looking. He wears a long fur coat and a high hat, with a beard, and in his hands he holds a staff and a bag of gifts. And they call him “grandfather” for a reason, but because he has a granddaughter.
Only our Father Frost has a granddaughter, Snegurochka, and she was born in Russia. The Snow Maiden is a literary character. She appeared in 1873 and at first was called not the granddaughter of Santa Claus, but a daughter. This happened thanks to Alexander Ostrovsky’s play “The Snow Maiden,” which he created based on a folk tale about a girl fashioned from snow and melted by the warm rays of the sun. Later, writers and poets turned her into a granddaughter. The image of the Snow Maiden is a symbol of frozen waters. This is a girl (not a girl) dressed only in white clothes. No other color is allowed in traditional symbolism. Her headdress is an eight-rayed crown embroidered with silver and pearls.
Slide 17
Veliky Ustyug
There is probably no country left in the world that does not claim to be the homeland of Santa Claus. In first place here, of course, are the Scandinavian countries - Finland, Denmark, Norway. But not only that - even Türkiye and China laid claim to this title at different times. Russia in this dispute does not lag behind the rest of the planet. In 1998, Veliky Ustyug, the oldest city in the Vologda region, was named the Russian homeland of Father Frost.

New Year's signs
Since ancient times, there have been several New Year's signs in Russia: Girls, when cleaning up on December 31, thoroughly swept under the table; if they came across grain of grain, it meant marriage; and so that there would be new things all year, on January 1 they put on all their best and changed clothes several times throughout the day. On January 2, the peasants performed a ritual to protect the house. if something happened to a person on New Year’s, the same will happen to him for the entire twelve months; do not do hard and dirty work - otherwise the whole year will be in hard work without rest; don’t repay your debts - pay off all year long.

It must be said that the new New Year’s customs took root among the Slavs quite quickly, because earlier at that time there was another holiday, Christmastide. And many old rituals - funny carnivals, mummers' tricks, sleigh rides, midnight fortune telling and round dances around the Christmas tree - fit well into the ritual of celebrating the New Year.

New Year is a truly international holiday, but different countries celebrate it in their own way. Italians throw old irons and chairs out of windows with all the southern passion, Panamanians try to make as much noise as possible, for which they turn on the sirens of their cars, whistle and shout. In Ecuador, they attach special importance to underwear, which brings love and money; in Bulgaria, they turn off the lights because the first minutes of the New Year are the time for New Year's kisses. In Japan, instead of 12, the bell rings 108 times, and the best New Year's accessory is considered to be a rake - to rake in good fortune.
Slide 4
New Year is the most mysterious holiday, opening up to us a world of good fairy tales and magic. Trusting kids, busy teenagers, serious adults and superstitious grannies - everyone is counting the minutes until the holiday. Fussy Japanese, reserved English, hot Finns and loving French - everyone celebrates the New Year. Everyone is waiting for Father Frost, Santa Claus and Julia Tomten, making wishes and giving gifts. About where, how, what, how many... Santa Clauses, gifts, surprises, kisses... this page will tell you.

In Rus', the famous grandfather, Father Frost, Red Nose Frost, Voivode Frost, is St. Nicholas, Nicholas the Wonderworker. His clothing has long been a long red and white fur coat. Santa Claus has a long white beard and holds a staff in his hands. He comes to visit not only with gifts, but also with his granddaughter Snegurochka. Veliky Ustyug several years ago was named the Patrimony of Father Frost himself. New Year in Veliky Ustyug is a real celebration of life.
Slide 7
There are quite a lot of traditions for celebrating the New Year in Russia. But what’s interesting is that most of them are borrowed from Western culture. This is apparently explained by two reasons: firstly, the arrival of Christianity in Slavic Rus' completely, or almost completely destroyed the pagan traditions of welcoming the new year and seeing off the old one. Secondly, the nobility and nobility imported new Western customs into Russia, which were subsequently adopted by the common people and became popular. Moreover, each era brought something new. From the times of Slavic paganism we inherited mummers, buffoons and jesters. The era of Peter the Great and subsequent reformer rulers brought a New Year tree with toys, fireworks, Santa Claus and a New Year's table (delicacies such as Olivier salads and vinaigrette were not known before him; they made do with porridge and pies). And the country of the Soviets gave us Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, the obligatory Champagne with tangerines on the table and the striking of the Chimes.
Slide 8
In the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Western Europe, he is called Santa Claus. He is dressed in a red jacket trimmed with white fur and red trousers. There is a red cap on the head.
Slide 9
In Finland, New Year's grandfather is called Joulupkki. He wears a tall cone-shaped hat, long hair, and red clothing. He is surrounded by gnomes in peaked hats and capes trimmed with white fur.
Slide 10
And in Estonia, Santa Claus is called Jyuluvan and he looks like his Finnish relative.
Slide 11
There are two Santa Clauses in Sweden: a stooped grandfather with a knobby nose - Yultomten and the dwarf Yulnissaar. Both of them go from house to house on New Year’s Eve and leave gifts on the windowsills.
Slide 12
There are also two Santa Clauses in France. One is called Père-Noël, which means Father Christmas. He is kind and brings gifts to the children in a basket. The second one is called Chalande. This bearded old man wears a fur hat and a warm traveling cloak. His basket contains rods for naughty and lazy children.
Slide 13
In Cyprus, Santa Claus is called Vasily.
Slide 14
In Italy, old lady Befana comes to the children. On New Year's Eve, she flies into houses through the chimney and brings gifts to good children, while the naughty ones get only ashes. New Year's holidays in Italy fall at the end of December - beginning of January. In all cities, the streets are brightly lit, celebrations and concerts are held. In Venice, for example, the lions guarding the palazzo are given caps and beards glued on their heads, Christmas trees in pots are placed on all balconies, sails with the image of Santa Claus appear on yachts. In Rome, Christmas trees are installed in squares and decorated with toys and flowers; shop windows, restaurants and house balconies are decorated with garlands with red ribbons.
Slide 15
In the Basque Country, Father Christmas is called Olentzero. He is dressed in national homespun clothes and carries with him a flask of good Spanish wine.
Slide 16
In Romania, the “snow grandfather” is called Mos Jerile. He is very similar to our Santa Claus. According to Romanian beliefs, on New Year's Eve, Christmas, Epiphany and Easter, the heavens open for a moment. Anyone who saw this could ask God for whatever he wanted.
Slide 17
In Mongolia, Santa Claus looks like a shepherd. He is dressed in a shaggy fur coat and a large fox hat. On his side he has a snuffbox, flint and steel, and in his hands is a long whip. In Mongolia, as paradoxical as it may seem at first glance, a rake is an invariable attribute of the New Year. With these rakes, the Mongols apparently “rakes in happiness” on New Year’s Eve.
Slide 18
In Uzbekistan his name is Kerbobo. He is dressed in a striped robe and a red skullcap. Kerbobo enters the villages on a donkey loaded with bags of New Year's gifts.
Slide 19
In early May, an old man named Khyzyr Ilyas comes to Muslim countries with gifts. He wears a red cap entwined with a green scarf and a green robe with flowers embroidered on it.
Unlike the European New Year's Eve, Nowruz is usually celebrated during the day, but still with family. In Iran, seven items are traditionally placed on the New Year's table, the names of which begin with the letter "s". These necessarily include green sprouted grains (saben), bread (sangak), plates with colored eggs and a vessel in which fish swim. Be sure to prepare a ritual dish called samani from the juice of sprouted wheat grains and gata (a type of cookie) with a magical bead of happiness. Whoever gets the bead will have good luck and happiness all year long.
Slide 20
Chinese Santa Claus is called very simply: Dong Che Lao Ren, Shan Dan Laozhen or Sho Hin. There are a lot of Chinese children, and Shan Dan Laozhen has more than enough work on New Year's Eve. But he will definitely come to every child and leave a gift for him. Shan Dan Laozhen is a wise old man, he wears silk robes, has a long beard, and has studied Confucius, Wushu and Aikido. He travels around the country on a donkey.
Slide 21
Just think that the ancestors of Santa Claus in different countries are considered to be gnomes and troubadours singing songs at Christmas, and wandering sellers of children's toys. There is an opinion that among the relatives of Father Frost is the East Slavic spirit of cold Treskun, aka Studenets, Frost. The image of Santa Claus has evolved over the centuries, and each nation has made its own contribution to the image of this character.
Slide 22
Let's try to determine the main features of the Russian Father Frost that correspond to both historical and modern ideas about this fairy-tale wizard. According to one of the researchers of the image of Father Frost, the traditional appearance of Father Frost, according to ancient mythology and color symbolism, suggests:
Slide 23
The beard and hair are thick, gray (silver). These details of appearance, in addition to their “physiological” meaning (the old man is gray-haired), also have a huge symbolic character, denoting power, happiness, prosperity and wealth. Surprisingly, hair is the only detail of the appearance that has not undergone any significant changes over the millennia.
Slide 24
The shirt and trousers are white, linen, decorated with white geometric patterns, symbolizing purity.
Slide 25
The fur coat is long (ankle-length or shin-length), always red, embroidered with silver (eight-pointed stars, geese, crosses and other traditional ornaments), trimmed with swan down. Some modern theatrical costumes are guilty of experiments in the field of color and materials. Surely many people have seen a gray-haired wizard in a blue or green fur coat. If so, know that this is not Santa Claus, but one of his many “younger brothers.”
Slide 29
Shoes - silver or red, silver-embroidered boots with raised toes and beveled heels, small sizes or without heels at all. And on a frosty day, Father Frost puts on white felt boots embroidered with silver. White color and silver are symbols of the moon, holiness, north, water and purity.
Slide 30
The staff is crystal or silver “like crystal”. The handle is twisted and also has a silver-white color scheme. The staff is completed with a moon, a stylized image of the month, or the head of a bull, a symbol of power, fertility and happiness.
Slide 31
Santa Clauses bring gifts, but everyone does it in their own way: the Russian Santa Claus puts a gift under the tree. The British and Irish find gifts in a sock, and Mexicans find gifts in a shoe. New Year's gifts are dumped down a chimney in France, and on a balcony in Spain. In Sweden, Santa Claus puts gifts near the stove, and in Germany he leaves them on the windowsill. Santa Clauses - they are all different. They look different, one is kind, and the other can scold. Everyone has their own personal way of getting into a holiday home. But no matter what Santa Claus is, he is there to congratulate and give a gift!
Slide 32
