Ua kapaʻiaʻo Caroling he manawa hoʻokipa i ka poʻe haipule, no ka hoʻokōʻiaʻana o nā mea a pau, eʻaʻahu pinepine ana i nā holoholona, nā daimonio, a pēlā aku. Me nā mele, nā hula, nā hōʻailona a me nā hua'ōlelo maikaʻi "maikaʻi", hele lākou a puni ka hale ma hope o ko lākou hale i ko lākou kauhale a kauhale paha. ua loaʻa iā ia kahi hana maʻamau. He nui nāʻoihana kāleʻa, aʻo kekahi o lākou ma kēiaʻatikala.
Ke'ahamele Kalikimaka
ʻO ka mea maʻamau i waena o nā Slav,ʻo ia ka mele Kalikimaka, kahi i hala ai nā lāʻekolu o ka lā Kalikimaka a hiki i ka "Old New Year" i kahiʻano hou. ʻO ke kumu o ia mau mele e haʻi aku i nā poʻe a pau e pili ana i ka hānauʻana o ka mea ola a hauʻoli pū me nā mea a pau. Me ka hōʻeleʻele o ka pōʻeleʻele, ua kīkē ka mea pākani ma nā puka makani a me nā puka o kēlā hale kēia hale, mele i nā mele o koljadovanye, kanu i nā kulina, nā mea kanu a me nā hua'ē aʻe ma ka papa me nā makemake o nā mea nona kaʻai maikaʻi, ke olakino i nā keiki a me nā pōmaikaʻi a pau. No laila, loaʻa iā lākou kahi hōʻailona i hoʻokomoʻia i loko o kahiʻeke. Ua hanaʻia kēia hana a pau me kahi mele, leo, a walaʻau. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, ua hoʻopihaʻia nā hoʻokipa maikaʻi i nā hana kīpilikiʻi me nā hana kūpono a me ka'ōlelo hōʻino,ʻaʻole i hoʻokipaʻia i ka wā maʻamau.
I kēia mau lā, ua hala ka mea nui o ke mele Kalikimaka a ma ka home hoʻi e hele pinepine ai nā keiki, e'ōlelo pinepine ana i nā mea nāna e ho'āʻo me ka lepia. ʻO Kutia ka porridge, pinepine i ka laiki me ka hoʻonuiʻana i ke kōpaʻa a me ka meli, nā hua maloʻo. ʻOiai i ka manawa mua i hanaʻia kēlāʻano hana e ko lākou mauʻohana, a ma kahi hope loa - e ke kupuna kāne no ka mālamaʻana i ka pule no ke keiki.
ʻO nāʻoihana'ē aʻe o ka hoʻoleleʻana ma Rusia
I ka lā o ka solstice hoʻoilo - Kekemapa 22, ua hoʻokipaʻia ke akua o ka hauʻoli a me ka maluhia - Kolyada, ka mea i kapaʻia e nā poʻe'ōpiopio i nā meleʻoliʻoli, i kaʻakaʻaka a me ka haʻaʻana. ʻO nā hui o nā mea paʻi kiʻi hoʻohiwahiwa i nā hale o nā poʻe mahi'āina, e amo ana i ka lāʻau he hōkūʻewalu kūkū i hanaʻia i ka pepa kālā. I loko o loko he lua i hanaʻia a kauʻia ke kukui ma laila. Wahi a ka loina o kaʻoliʻoli, ua komo pū ka hui i kahi "mehonosha" i halihali i kahiʻeke no kaʻohiʻana i nā makana.
Akā naʻe,ʻaʻole i lawe waleʻia ke meleʻana no ka Kalikimaka wale nō. ʻO kahiʻoihana pili loa no ka caroling ma Rūsia,ʻo ia ka hoʻomākaukau kilokilo no ka Easter . Pēlā nō, he mea maʻamau ke hele a puni nā hale me nā huaʻala a me nā leʻaleʻa, e mālama i kahi hoaaloha a mahalo i ke Kristo i hōʻea. Ua mālamaʻia ka mālama i kēia lā,ʻo ia hoʻi e hoʻololi i nā hua, a hiki iā ia ke paʻi kekahi i kekahi me nā hua'ōlelo: "Ua alaʻo Kristo!", I paneʻia e ka mea aloha: "Heʻoiaʻiʻo e ala!"
