Essay on a work on the topic: Cultural folk traditions (essay)
The Intercession will come and cover the girl’s head.
(Proverb)
Russians folk traditions their roots go back centuries. Russia is essentially a peasant country, and our culture originates from rural life. IN village life Our people themselves, according to the will of their ancestors, established the so-called “wedding weeks”, which stretched from Epiphany to Maslenitsa and were especially observed in merchant life.
The last weddings of the year were timed to coincide with the Intercession, and those who spent too much time in wenches on these days necessarily went to church to pray that God would send them good grooms. The prayer contained the following words: “Protection, Holy Mother of God, cover my poor head with a pearl kokoshnik, a golden headband.” The girls also turned to the Apostle Andrew, the Great Martyr Catherine, Nila and Paraskeva.
The peasants worked hard throughout the spring and summer. The work was usually completed by Pokrov. Our ancestors treated time thriftily, in a businesslike manner, so guys, for example, most often used these very days to look for an assistant, and a free one at that.
Colorful and poetic maiden round dances began in the spring and continued until the Intercession itself. Autumn gatherings brought boys and girls closer together; at them the girls often did needlework, and the boys seemed to have the opportunity to choose a craftswoman to their liking as a wife. The guys who went to work in distant lands hurried to return to Pokrov with money, because they had to celebrate a wedding for something.
As we see, the most important moment in life, our ancestors timed them to annual cycles more suitable for their implementation.
If you look at this from a psychological point of view, then everything is thought out here too. On Pokrov, even the most ardent opponents of marriage became more accommodating, and the girls dreamed of quickly unbraiding their girls’ braids and covering their heads with a woman’s warrior. They believed that if the Veil did not cover, then Christmas would not cover the earth with snow. And without snow, the ground will freeze and the crops will not grow.
It is also remarkable that even if their hopes were not realized, the girls did not despair, but continued to have fun with their happy girlfriends as if nothing had happened. They never envied and therefore were beautiful in soul and eventually found their happiness.
But this holiday was distinguished not only by marriage concerns. Important it also had in the economic life of our people. It was on this day that the terms for hiring seasonal workers were most often determined. Hired “conscripts” usually worked from Ilyin’s day until the Intercession, that’s why they said: “Wait until the Intercession - I’ll pay off the entire debt.”
At this time, they were in a hurry to complete all trade transactions and payments. The cellars were filled in winter with various pickles and preserves. The last chores for the winter table were apples. On the very eve of Intercession, Antonovka was soaked. There was an amazing apple spirit in the huts these days. I immediately remembered how sweetly I described it in my poetic prose This is the time of Ivan Alekseevich Bunin. Through the aroma of the collected Antonov apples the writer expressed the whole soul of the Russian people.
The holiday was a holiday, but there was enough work: “The house is not big, but it doesn’t make you bored.” On Intercession they were in a hurry to repair the house for winter: “to steal the hut”, “to grab heat before Intercession”. Entire proverbs were written on this topic, for example: “if you don’t cheat before the Intercession, there will be no such thing” - and you will have to ask: “Father Intercession, heat our hut without firewood.” This is so that the Intercession sends warm days - to look around and have time to prepare everything for the future.
I always admire the harmonious perception of nature by our ancestors. They, as they say now, did not twitch, but believed that “the mistress would cover the earth with her Veil and say to her son: “Lord, winter has come, everyone has worked hard, stocked up. bless them, Lord, to rest and survive the fierce winter. My cover will be over them.”
Through the signs of this time, our wonderful people talentedly conveyed the grief and joy of Russian workers. For example, according to one line from N. Nekrasov: “Only one strip is not compressed, it brings a sad thought.” - the reader already sees the picture human tragedy. It is clear that the peasant will not leave his grain unharvested in the fall. So something bad happened to him. And from Tyutchev we read: “Only cobwebs thin hair/ Shines on the idle furrow.” The “idle” furrow tells us that everything is in order in the life of a peasant. In this regard, I can’t help but remember the boy Vanya from “The Summer of the Lord” by I. S. Shmelev. He lived according to the Orthodox annual cycle and matured spiritually.
I want to finish this favorite topic for me with the poems of E. Baratynsky, which are very consonant with my current mood and in general, in my opinion, explain the craving of Russian people for their roots.
