The Russian people have always been able to work well and have fun. You can even now celebrate an old holiday with songs, dances, jokes. Interesting fortune-telling, delicious old dishes and a lot of positive emotions are waiting for you.
Instructions
Step 1
Russian folk holidays begin with the New Year. Compared to other celebrations, this one is still quite young, since it was celebrated on January 1 from 1700. Not a single significant event is complete without a feast, including this one. Prepare delicious food. There should be exactly 12 dishes on the table. Then prosperity and abundance await you in the coming year.
Step 2
Find a place on the table for Russian folk food. Make pies with a variety of fillings. Roast the pig with buckwheat porridge (if it's not the year of the pig). Place a dish with sauerkraut, pickles, serve crumbly potatoes with butter.
Step 3
The next day of celebration falls on the evening of January 6th. Celebrate Christmas Eve brightly. Try not to eat until the first star, and then treat your family to sochiv - the main Christmas dish. To do this, boil wheat grains in water for 2 hours, then add pounded poppy seeds, honey, and finely chopped nuts to them. Arrange a fortune-telling on this night.
Step 4
Light a candle and let the wax drip into the water. When it cools down, look at what its outlines look like, this is waiting for you in the future. An unmarried lady, going to bed, let her say: "The betrothed-mummer, come to me dressed up." Whoever dreams of her that night can become a soul mate.
Step 5
All winter holidays up to Epiphany have fun, as the Russian people celebrated them. Ride down the hill, if possible, then on horseback. It's great if you go to nature. At the dacha, in the village, light a samovar. Sip tea with bagels and pies with friends or family.
Step 6
You can hang prizes on a wooden post, and let the most daring try to get them. Such Russian folk entertainment will amuse and show who is the most dexterous.
Step 7
Spring holidays are replacing the winter ones. Do not forget to get up early on March 1st to meet the sunrise. On this day, the Russians greeted the sun god Yarila.
Step 8
On the vernal equinox of March 22, bake bread birds from rye flour, put a coin in one of them. Whoever gets the talisman has happiness ahead.
Step 9
Try on April 7 to be healthy, well-fed, and have money with you. After all, as you spend the Annunciation, this will be the whole year.
Step 10
Celebrate the Russian national holiday Ivan Kupala Day on July 7th. Let the girls weave wreaths, dress them for themselves and the boys. Ladies can wear old-fashioned sundresses. True, it is not very convenient to jump over a fire in them, then put on something else. Lead round dances, sing folk songs, ditties. Have a picnic in nature.
Step 11
Celebrate November 4th with a magnificent wedding. After all, marriages on Kazanskaya are successful. If you are already married or are not yet in mind of a gentleman, perform rituals to become even more beautiful and charming. On this day, self-care will give visible results. Prepare something delicious to keep everyone at the table with you healthy.
