Греење на дрва

од овој аспект вреи и да се жртвува некое дрво екстра, проблемот е само што ова се прави сеуште за време постот па дружбата неретко и предвреме односно пред Божиќ преоѓа во фетивал, некогаш и оправно за да оние кои не се воцрковени бар и традиционално да почнат да се доближуваат до Црквта, а оние пак воцрковените можат да си дозволат ваквиот фестивал да го продолжат де потоа од Божиќ па се до Василица кога би се надоврзале и василичарите ко пријателов на видеово

Originally posted by Max just to add earlier superstitions were common cross-believe system, rituals that were common among those with not so sincere faith in Christ and teachings of Christianity, for them it was also constrained mechanism coz in the past many were holding tight to their ancestors tradition as ethnical covenant, from this aspect especially it was problem for the church clergy to extinguish the old rusty habits among the people that in a way made them distinctifull on this land through the centuries, so what couldnt be remove the church unofficially incorporated it in the feasts giving it Christian meaning, mainly so it could hold the community undivided or parallelenig secretly their own rituals, even today there are wide spread customs like the badnikar flames or vasilichar flames then the presence of Chritsmas straw or Christmas oak branches that are part of the folklore on feasts in Christmastide, but lately most of our Episcops officially as in the past are not so favorable of these rituals, rituals which as such except decorative ornamentation at least force friendly gatherings in the communities, giving them unique mark as glowing sights speccially in the urban areas, that today in this massive form could not be found elsewhere in europe except in the balkans [1][2][3] eventually as serious practice probably would be forgotten when the global warming will reach its peak, thus depriving the pagan need to stimulate the winter sun or announcing the winter solstice, that early was practice in whole pagan europe [1][2] tho coz of our orthodox calendar I am glad that we always miss this overlap, burning logs instead on 21st dec. on 6th jan. and in such case we are only announcing symbolically the shepherds cave-flame that was warming the small Jesus at His birth...
