The warriors refused to do this and then all the warriors were killed. And I always loved my soldiers and defenders people, and people began to believe that 40 warriors of the squad did not die, but turned into larks. On this day, March 22, all fallen soldiers are remembered.

And the housewives baked special Lenten buns - "larks", with outstretched wings, as if flying, and even with tufts. Lenten treats were distributed to children. (Slide 10)

For our ancestors, who lived in ancient times in Rus', holidays were an important part of both family and public life. For many centuries, the Russian people honored and sacredly preserved their traditions, passed on from father to son in every generation.

The daily life of an ordinary Russian person in those days was difficult and dedicated to the hard work of obtaining his daily bread, so holidays were a special event for him, a kind of sacred day, when the life of the entire community merged with their sacred values, the spirits of their ancestors and their covenants.

Traditional Russian holidays included a complete ban on any daily activity (mowing, plowing, chopping wood, sewing, weaving, cleaning, etc.). During the holiday, all people had to dress in festive clothes, rejoice and have fun, conduct only joyful, pleasant conversations; failure to comply with these rules was subject to a fine or even punishment in the form of lashing.

Each season played its own specific role in the life of a Russian person. Winter period, free from work on the land, was especially famous for its festivities, noisy fun and games.

The main Russian holidays in Rus':

Winter

On January 7 (December 25), the Russian Orthodox people celebrated Christmas. This holiday, dedicated to the birth of God's son Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, ends the Nativity fast, which lasts for 40 days. In anticipation of it, people prepared to come to him with clean souls and bodies: they washed and cleaned their homes, went to the bathhouse, put on clean holiday clothes, helped the poor and needy, and distributed alms. On January 6, on Christmas Eve, the whole family gathered at a large festive table, where the obligatory first course was the ritual porridge kutya or sochivo. They started dinner after the first star appeared, eating silently and solemnly. After Christmas came the so-called holy days, which lasted until Epiphany, during which it was customary to go from house to house and glorify Jesus Christ with prayers and chants.

Christmastide (Holiday week)

Holidays among the ancient Slavs, and then turned into church celebrations, the days of Christmastide, begin from the first star on Christmas Eve until the holiday of Epiphany, the blessing of water (“from the star to the water”). The first week of Christmastide is called Yuletide Week, associated with Slavic mythology associated with the turn of winter to summer, there is more sun, less darkness. During this week, in the evenings, called holy evenings, holiness was often violated by mythological rituals of fortune telling, which was not welcomed by the church, and during the day, dressed in clothes with flags and musical instruments magicians walked the streets, entered houses and amused the people.

On January 19, Orthodox Epiphany was celebrated, dedicated to the sacrament of the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, on this day the Great Blessing of Water was performed in all churches and temples, all water in reservoirs and wells was considered holy and had unique properties. medicinal properties. Our ancestors believed that holy water could not spoil and kept it in the red corner under the icons, and believed that this was the best cure for all ailments, both physical and spiritual. On rivers, lakes and other bodies of water, they made a special ice hole in the shape of a cross called a Jordan, swimming in which was considered a godly and healing activity that relieved illnesses and all sorts of misfortunes for the whole year.

At the very end of winter, when, according to the beliefs of our ancestors, the Red Spring, with the help of warmth and light, drove away the cold and cold, the Maslenitsa holiday began, known for its free joy, which lasted for a whole week on the eve of Lent. At this time, it was customary to bake pancakes, which were considered a symbol of the sun, go to visit each other, have fun and dress up, sled down the hills, and on the final Forgiveness Sunday, burn and bury a scarecrow symbol of the defeated winter.

Spring

On this feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, although in Orthodoxy there is no forefeast, since Holy Week begins next, believers bring willow branches to the church (in Slavic they replaced palm branches), which are sprinkled with holy water at Matins after the all-night vigil. Then the Orthodox decorate icons in their homes with consecrated willow trees.

Holy Easter was considered the greatest holiday of all Christian people in Rus'; on this day the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his transition from death on Earth to life in heaven was revered. People cleaned and decorated their houses, dressed in festive clothes, always attended Easter services in churches and temples, went to visit each other, treating each other to Easter colored eggs and Easter cakes, after Lent. When meeting people they said “Christ is Risen!”, in response they should say “Truly He is Risen!” and kiss three times.

The first Sunday after Easter was called Krasnaya Gorka or Fomin's Day (on behalf of the Apostle Thomas, who did not believe in the resurrection of Christ), it was a symbol of the arrival of spring and the long-awaited warmth. For this holiday festivities began at night and lasted all day, young people danced in circles, rode on swings, young guys met and got to know girls. Covered festive tables with a hearty treat: fried eggs, loaves in the shape of the sun.

Summer

One of the most significant holidays of the summer was Ivan Kupala or Midsummer's Day, named after John the Baptist and celebrated on the day from July 6 to 7, the summer solstice. This holiday has ethnic origins and deep pagan roots. On this day, people burn large bonfires, jump over them, symbolizing the cleansing of the body and spirit from sinful thoughts and actions, dance in circles, weave beautiful wreaths of flowers and meadow herbs, set them adrift and tell fortunes about their betrothed.

One of the national holidays revered since ancient times, which is associated with many beliefs, signs and prohibitions. On the eve of the holiday, ritual cookies were baked on Thursday and Friday and field work was stopped. And on Elijah’s day itself it was strictly forbidden to carry out any household work; it was believed that it would not bring results. A “brotherhood” was held, all residents of nearby villages were invited to a common meal, and after the refreshments they ended with folk festivities with songs and dances. And most importantly, Ilya’s day is considered the border between summer and autumn, when the water becomes cold, the evenings are cool, and the first signs of autumn gilding appear on the trees.

In the middle of the last summer month, namely August 14 (1), Orthodox Christians celebrated the holiday Honey Spas(saved from the word savior), which was used to honor the death of the seven Maccabean martyrs, who were martyred for their Christian faith by the ancient Syrian king Antiochus. The houses were sprinkled with poppy seeds, protecting them from evil spirits; the first honeycombs, collected on this day, when the bees stopped collecting nectar, were taken to the temple for consecration. This day symbolized farewell to summer, after which the days became shorter, the nights longer, and the weather cooler.

On August 19 (6), Apple Day or the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord began; among our ancestors it was one of the very first harvest festivals, symbolizing the beginning of autumn and the withering of nature. Only with its onset could the ancient Slavs eat apples from the new harvest, which were necessarily consecrated in the church. The festive tables were set and they began to eat grapes and pears.

The last, Third Spas (Bread or Nut) was celebrated on August 29 (16), on this day the harvest season ended and housewives could bake bread from the new grain harvest. Festive loaves were blessed in churches, and nuts were also brought there, which were just ripe at that time. Finishing the harvest, farmers always knitted the last “birthday sheaf”.

Autumn

One of the most revered autumn holidays that came to the ancient Slavs from Byzantium was Intercession Day, celebrated on October 14 (1). The holiday is dedicated to an event that occurred in the 10th century in Constantinople, when the city was besieged by the Saracens, and the townspeople brought prayers for help to the Holy Mother of God in temples and churches. The Blessed Virgin Mary heard their requests and, removing the veil from their heads, hid them from their enemies and saved the city. At this time, the harvesting work was completely completed, preparations for winter began, round dances and festivities ended, and gatherings with handicrafts, chants and conversations began. On this day, tables were set with treats, gifts were brought to the poor and orphans, attendance at church services was obligatory, and the time for wedding celebrations began. Marriage during the Intercession was considered particularly happy, rich and long-lasting.

For the moral and cultural education of preschool children, Russian folk holidays and rituals are increasingly being held in kindergartens. With the help of such events, there is an excellent opportunity to introduce children to the origins of Russian folk culture. This is extremely important in modern conditions, when there is such a lack of good, harmonious human relationships, the unity of man with nature and an understanding of the characteristics and values ​​of the Russian national character.

Thus, summer folk holidays should not be ignored.

  • “Kupala” (learning the skill of weaving wreaths, studying plants, reading fairy tales about mermaids);
  • “Russian birch tree” (carrying out a ritual with tying ribbons on a birch tree and making wishes).

Autumn feast

Autumn is the time of harvest and... Our ancestors celebrated numerous autumn folk holidays and performed rituals. Basically, they were all dedicated to thanksgiving to Mother Earth for the harvest. Most significant holiday- Autumn. Studying such traditions helps to instill in children a love of work, nature, and to become familiar with the process of cultivating various garden crops. There is an opportunity to find out what clothes our ancestors wore when they worked the land, what clothes they wore when they sat down at the table, and what costume they wore for festive ceremonies.

  • “Autumn Harvest Fair” (feast, quizzes on the topic);
  • “Folk costume fashion show” (study of the details of Slavic clothing, competition - fashion show).

During such events, preschool children not only comprehend the spiritual traditions of their people, but also actively take part in active ancient games: tug of war, leapfrog, burners, towns.

Celebrate folk festivals in kindergarten it is extremely important for teachers. Through folklore, knowledge about the cultural traditions of the people is invested.

And evenings are usually spent at home, near the nativity scene and a decorated Christmas tree, having pleasant conversations, reading fairy tales to children, telling them about how Christmas is celebrated in other countries, and, of course, drinking hot tea. Christmas folk the festivities are in many ways reminiscent of the fun at Maslenitsa. Only instead of pancakes people are treated to festive gingerbread, and instead of dancing in circles, they sing carols. CAROLS - special songs with wishes for a rich harvest, health, harmony in the family. Few people know these songs now. I suggest you remember a few carols, they will be useful to us in the future.

We sow, we sow, we sow,

Merry Christmas!

- Open the chests,

Get your heels out!

- Open the lids,

Give us fifty dollars!

- Kolyada! Kolyada!

Serve the pie.

We sow, we sow, we sow,

Happy New Year!

Happiness will be yours!

The harvest is great!

The carolers scattered oats and wheat around the house, wishing for wealth and fertility. And the owners gave gifts and treated the guests.

V.: Well done guys. What time of year is it now? And what spring holidays you know?

D.: children's answers.

V.: That’s right, Maslenitsa. End of winter. The days become long and bright, the sky becomes blue and the sun becomes bright. At this time on Folk festivals were held in Rus'. This one was called holiday - Maslenitsa. Cheerful and riotous, it lasted a whole a week: fairs, street games, performances by mummers, dances, songs. IN people No wonder it was called the wide Maslenitsa. Main treat holidays are pancakes, an ancient pagan symbol of the return of sun and warmth to people. The main participant of Maslenitsa is a large straw doll named Maslenitsa. She was dressed in a dress, a scarf was tied around her head, and her feet were shod in bast shoes. The doll was seated on a sleigh and taken up the mountain with songs. The fun continued until the evening, and at the end of all the activities they “said off Maslenitsa” - they burned an effigy depicting Maslenitsa. Maslenitsa, goodbye! Come next year! Maslenitsa, come back! Show up in the new year! Goodbye, Maslenitsa! Goodbye red! It was farewell to Maslenitsa. They made a fire of straw in the field and burned a doll with songs. The ashes were scattered across the fields in order to reap a rich harvest the following year. On Forgiveness Sunday, we went to each other to make peace and asked for forgiveness if we had offended them earlier. They talked: "Please forgive me". “God will forgive you,” they answered. Then they kissed and did not remember the insults. But even if there were no quarrels and insults, it’s all the same talked:"I'm sorry". Even when we met a stranger, we asked him for forgiveness. This is how Maslenitsa ended.

A game "Wattle"

All participants are divided into two teams and lined up in two lines opposite each other.

Participants braid "wattle fence"– hold hands through one, crosswise.

Members of the first team step towards the other team, which is standing still at that time, and They say: “We all congratulate Masha and wish her health!”. They say the second half of the sentence while walking backwards. Then the other team does the same. Then everyone lines up at the back and follows the leader, who tries to walk in such a way that everyone gets confused. As soon as the leader claps his hands, both teams take their places and begin to braid again. "wattle fence".

Usually after this they appear "extra" hands.

Game-entertainment "Stream"

Our great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers knew and loved this game, and it has come down to us almost unchanged. There is no need to be strong, agile or fast. This game is of a different kind - emotional, it creates a mood that is cheerful and cheerful. The rules are simple. The players stand one after another in pairs, usually a boy and a girl, a boy and a girl, join hands and hold them high above their heads. The clasped hands create a long corridor. The player who did not get a pair goes to "source" stream and, passing under clasped hands, looks for a mate. Holding hands, the new couple makes their way to the end of the corridor, and the one whose couple was broken goes to the beginning "stream". And passing under clasped hands, he takes with him the one he likes. So "trickle" moves - the more participants, the more fun game, especially fun to do while listening to music.

No one holiday In the old days, young people couldn't do without this game. Here you have a struggle for your beloved, and jealousy, and a test of feelings, and a magical touch on the hand of the chosen one. The game is wonderful, wise and extremely significant.

Maslenitsa is one of my favorites national holidays of the Russian people, which from century to century conveys the state of the broad Russian soul, the traditions and customs of Russians. Maslenitsa is the last winter holiday, one of the most beloved and long-awaited in people's holiday, saying goodbye to snow and frost and welcoming spring. Oil Week does not have a strictly defined period celebrations and falls either at the end of February or at the beginning of March.

Maslenitsa on Rus' was called honest, wide and cheerful. And we always looked forward to its arrival.

Oil Week is full of customs and traditions! And they are different for every day.

March 22 – "Magpies". Why Magpies? (Demonstration illustrations: warriors of the Ancient Rus')

The teacher tells the children Russian folk epic. A very, very long time ago, one of the military leaders ordered a detachment of 40 brave warriors to sacrifice one of them to the gods. The warriors refused to do this and then all the warriors were killed. And I always loved my soldiers and defenders people, and people began to believe that 40 warriors of the squad did not die, but turned into larks. On this day, March 22, all fallen soldiers are remembered.

And the housewives baked special Lenten buns - "larks", with outstretched wings, as if flying, and even with tufts. Lenten treats were distributed to children. (Slide 10)

Like all Russians holidays On Soroki, children danced in circles and played games.

Guys, stand in a circle and let’s play the game “Lark.

Progress of the lesson

I. Introduction to Russian holidays.

1. Teacher’s story “How we went on a visit.”

Russian people loved holidays. We were happy to prepare for the reception of guests.

Entire families came to visit. Guests were greeted with bows, greeted, and those closest to them were kissed. Loved to treat | guests are nourished and tasty. Therefore, the guest was always persuaded to eat, try drinks and dishes. They said: “Help yourself to what God sent you.” “The hut is not red in its corners, but red in its pies.” “Don’t offend the owner, try our dishes.” They sang songs and danced. Do you know what the Russian holiday – Svyatki – is famous for? Holiday week fell during the frosty winter season. On Christmastide, mummers went from house to house, people told fortunes and played all sorts of games. Everyone was guessing - both adults and children. People really loved this fun.

But most main feature It was Christmastide. Everyone wanted to dress up somehow especially and funny, so as not to be recognized: they turned their fur coat inside out, put on a cap or soldier's cap, glued on a beard or mustache. They dressed up as gypsies, soldiers...

And some made masks - they were called masks. Birch bark was used for masks: holes were made in it for the nose, eyes, and mouth. In addition, they had to glue on the mustache and tie up the beard. Such masks were made for more than one year. They were carefully kept until the new Christmastide.

Show illustrations or, if possible, the masks themselves.

2. Teacher’s story about Maslenitsa.

Most fun party in the old days - Maslenitsa. On Maslenitsa they say goodbye to winter and welcome spring sun. Spring overcomes winter, but we need to help it: sweep away winter with a broom, take a snow fortress where its frosts and snowstorms hide.

(Learning chants with children)

Come out people

Stand at the gate

Invoke spring

Seeing off the winter.

Spring, spring is red,

Come, spring, with joy!

All week on Maslenitsa We had fun, rode downhill, danced in circles, sang ditties and songs, baked pies and pancakes, and went to visit.

Like on Shrovetide

Pancakes were flying from the chimney.

Oh my pancakes

Buttered pancakes,

Oh, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,

Rip my little ones apart!

A rosy pancake meant spring sunshine. And in our time, pancakes are baked on Maslenitsa. This is an old Russian custom to welcome spring.

3. Ritual “Treating pancakes.”

The teacher asks parents or school cooks in advance to bake pancakes, prepare tea and jam. By inviting children to try pancakes, the teacher encourages children to characterize them by shape, taste, method of preparation, and other external features, teaches them to eat correctly, use cutlery, etc.

Additional material for the topic “Holidays in Rus'”

In the folk calendar, February is called “section”, that is, the month that cuts off winter. And although the snow still creaks under your feet, and the frost stings your cheeks, it doesn’t frighten you. Even on the coldest days, clear skies and bright sun promise immediate warmth.

The month of Bokogrey has come,

Warm the side of the cow,

And the cow and the bull,

And to the gray old man...

Such choruses were usually shouted by village children.

At the end of February, calving began, that is, milk appeared. “Oil has spilled on the roads, take it away, winter, feet,” people said. It was at the end of February - the beginning of March that the celebration of Maslenitsa fell. Although it does not have an exact date on the calendar, this holiday is never missed. There was no family, house, yard, village or city in Rus' where they did not celebrate Maslenitsa week. She was always noisy, with unbridled fun, with mummers, with songs and games.

Maslenitsa is memorable primarily for its pancakes, and there are many types of them. In addition to pancakes, pancakes and waffles were placed on the table different forms, fried dough and any pastries you like. The flour products on the table glowed with golden heat, like little sunbeams. They felt cramped in the room. They took the tables out into the streets and immediately baked pancakes. Nearby samovars hissed, and cold kvass or warm sbiten were placed next to them. They stocked up both fish and dairy products for the holiday. They didn’t eat meat, since Maslenitsa was located on the edge of the church fast and the week was called “meat week.”

By the beginning of the holiday, the houses were thoroughly washed and scraped, the stoves were whitened, decorated with handicrafts, and special costumes were prepared.

The first day of the week was called “meetings.” In some provinces people went outside the outskirts to celebrate the holiday. In the Pskov province, children, sliding down the hills, shouted: “I’ve arrived! Maslenitsa has arrived!”

Tuesday – “flirt”. Street celebrations began. They covered their faces with funny masks and put on costumes. The appearance changed, and it seemed as if new life- cheerful, joyful.

In cities and villages they built slides and filled the slopes with water. Many young people gathered around them. The guys invited the girls to ride on sleds, and the kids rode down on bast and matting “reels.” A crowd of people was waiting for them below: snowballs were flying, sleds were overturned, and they all flew together into the snow laughing. These jokes meant something to the villagers: the higher the youth climbed the hills, the better the grain would be produced, the further the sleigh rolled, the longer the flax trees would grow, the hotter the people’s fun, the sooner the snow would melt.

The holiday was gaining momentum. From Wednesday or Thursday began " wide Maslenitsa”, to which “guests from all the volosts” were invited, the traveling sleighs were decorated with carpets, pillows in bright pillowcases were laid out on them. The horses are cleaned, their manes are combed, the harness sparkles with copper plaques, and bells ring under the arc. Dressed guests travel from village to village, and to each with their own songs. They are waiting. For the owners there was a rule: “What is in the oven, everything is on the table.” The tables are covered with clean tablecloths. Dishes with pies are placed. Everything is covered with embroidered towels. The guests enter, the feast begins with a mountain, “we thank you for the bread, for the salt, for the cabbage soup we will dance, for the porridge we will sing a song, and for the sour milk we will jump high.” Then skating again.

It is better not to show up on Maslenitsa on foot; the streets of cities and villages are given over to horsemen: men on horseback, women in sleighs.

On Friday we went out to “mother-in-law’s parties,” that is, “to my mother-in-law’s for pancakes.”

Those who got married this year had to visit native home young wife. Maslenitsa is a holiday for newlyweds. In the Vyatka province, tables were set in their houses, and guests came here to “watch the young”. In the Ryazan and Yekaterinburg provinces, viewings of young people were held on the streets. The husband was placed at the gate, the wife in front of him. At the request of those gathered, she had to bow and kiss the young man.

The last day of Maslenitsa was called “kiss day” or “ Forgiveness Sunday" There was a good custom: together with the passing winter, let go of all the grievances that had accumulated over the year. Cleanse your soul, forgive everyone and receive forgiveness for yourself. In every house, the morning began with the children asking for forgiveness from their parents, the younger ones asking for forgiveness from the elders. They kissed as a sign of complete reconciliation. Then they went to other houses, to relatives and friends, and repeated the ritual there. Even random people they met could ask for forgiveness and receive a response of heartfelt kindness. On this day, Russians became like one big family.

From young to old, everyone took part in seeing off Maslenitsa. This last day was the noisiest and most eventful. It took place differently in different places.

Traditionally, competitions in strength and agility were held: mass and one-on-one. For a one-on-one fight, a circle was cleared. The fighter entered it and called out those who wanted to measure their strength. The opponent had to be placed on both shoulder blades or thrown over himself.

Many people know about fist fights only by hearsay. But they still remember the rules: they don’t hit someone who is lying down, they don’t take anything into their hands. “Fists” was a fight, not a fight, a fight according to the rules. Her children started it. They went “street to street” or “village to village.” When one side pressed the other, the elders came to help, and then the adults stepped in. The old people ensured that the rules were followed. If you violate it, you won’t be allowed to fight again.

Horse races were held in cities and villages, and in some regions of Siberia horse and foot races competed with each other. Those who are not good at running could try their hand at climbing on a pole dug into the ground and watered with water until it froze. In front of a crowd of fans, one after another the guys tried to climb up. The loser was showered with ridicule, and the winner took the prize from the top of the pillar.
