Christmas and New Year, despite the proximity of dates in the calendar, have different historical roots, customs and traditions that have been formed over the centuries. Christmas has always been a religious holiday, symbolizing the birth of the Savior, and therefore filled with the expectation of miracle, happiness, light and magic. New Year, on the contrary, was secular and was associated more with fun, noisy festivities, the beginning of a new countdown with anticipation of change and hope for happiness. In this book, Olga Prokofieva not only talks about Christmas, New Year, Christmas Eve or the Baptism of the Lord, but also reveals their unique customs, symbols, cultural significance that formed the festive traditions of pre-revolutionary Russia.
