Its history begins with the events of 5th November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot‟s failure. 10th November - St. Martin’s Day (Martinmas) St. Martin‟s Day (Martinmas) is celebrated in Estonia on Nov. 10th. One of the most important and cherished days in Estonian folk calendar. It celebrates the end of the field work and beginning of winter period. On Martinmas Eve, Nov. 9th, children disguise themselves as men wearing dark clothing and masks and go from door to door in a similar way to Halloween trick-or- treating, singing songs, telling jokes and distributing good wishes. In return, they are given small gifts such as nuts, candies, apples, cookies and coins. 11 th November S.Martin In Italy 11th November there is a seasonal event in honour of Saint Martin Bishop of Tours. In the evening, after dinner, families have toasted or boiled chestnuts with some new wine so as so to see if it is ready to drink or not. This event signes also the coming of the winter; infact according to an old legend the last warm sunbites are those we can enjoy during 3 days before or after 11th November. In some little villages in the Abruzzo region, in the evening people gather all together in the centre of the village, usually a square, to cook chestnuts on a big and crackling fire singing and dancing old traditional songs accompanied by a typical instrument called “organetto”. In our Infant school on 11th November we had a typical “castagnata” (chestnut party). The children brought some chestnuts from home and the bus driver helped the teachers to cook them on the fire, in the school garden, while the children were singing some autumnal songs and they were saying some typical poems in Italian and in out dialect. This is our Taralli di San Martino receipe: 1 glass of white wine; 1 glass of olive oil; 1 glass of sugar; a certain amount of flour so as to have a soft mixture. Mix the ingredients all together in a bowl, and when the mixture is ready make some strips, then give them the shapes of big rings. Spread some sugar on and under the big rings. Cook them into the oven for 10 minutes at 180°. After that let them cool. 28th November – Advent Emotional preparation for Christmas. The candle burns every week from 1 to 4. This period creates warm atmosphere - we beautify the kindergarten with children, and organize playhouse with parents this is handicraft afternoon. After the 4th candle the children get toys as present – this present is not personal this is for group, it will be stay in kindergarten. 29th November – Andrzejki In autumn, on the eve of St. Andrew‟s Day (November 29th), we celebrate ANDRZEJKI (Andrews). In Poland we believe, that the night before St Andrew‟s Day is the night of magic. Young women can learn who their future husband is going to be, or, with a little help of magic, they can bind a husband to them. So, on the night of November 29th, young women put pieces of paper (on which they have written the name of the boys they like) under the pillow and first thing in the morning, they take one out. The boy whose name they take out on the morning of St.Andrew‟s Day, is going to be their husband. In the evening people throw parties, during which they: pour hot wax from a candle through a key hole into cold water. The shape of the resulting piece is going to be the girl‟s future husband‟s job eat special cakes, inside which they hide names of boys written on slips of paper. The name of the boy a girl gets in a cake, is the name of her future husband. dance, play and have fun! ANDRZEJKI is one of our favourite national celebrations!

In ancient time farmers, before the winter solstice, lit fires in honour of Faunuus, the protector of the earth, animals and agriculture. After, with the advent of Christianity, the festival became Catholic, that is the fire meant to purify people from sins. Today in Atri, on December 7th in the evening the priest of the cathedral blesses the fire which will serve to lit the faugni (long burning canes). At dawn on 8th December, the burning canes will be carried along the streets of Atri. The tour will end in the beautiful Piazza Duomo (The Dome Square), where the canes will form a huge bonfire. 13th December - Saint Llúcia Fair People start to prepare Christmas and buy ornaments, trees, mistletoe, holly, wreaths, nativity figures and the “Tió” (a log). 21st December - St. Thomas’ Day In the Estonian folk calendar St. Thomas‟ Day marks the beginning of Yuletide. Traditionally, on St. Thomas‟ Day Estonians did a thorough pre-Christmas cleaning of their homes and also killed a pig for Christmas feast. Men started to brew Christmas beer and women started to cook Christmas dishes. Cleaning chores included cleaning hearths and making the whole house tidy. It was called driving Sooty Thomas out. On that occasion in some places a doll was made from old clothes and filled with straw and rags. Then under the cover of night it was carried into another household. If the appearance of Sooty Thomas was not noticed and it was not taken away, then it meant that filth, untidiness and other bad things would befall the household.

The Russians still celebrate pagan holidays, many people believe in numerous omens and legends. Christianity gave Russians such great holidays as Easter and Christmas, and Paganism - Maslenitsa and Ivan Kupala. Old traditions are passed on from generation to generation. Easter Easter is the day of the resurrection of Christ. The holiday came to Russia from Byzantium together with Russia's christening in the end of the 10th century. Since then, this Christian holiday has been widely celebrated all over Russia. Christmas Christmas is the holiday of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, whose advent gave people hope for mercy, kindness, truth and eternal life. The Orthodox Church observes Christmas according to the Julian Calendar, on January 7, while Western churches celebrate it on December 25, in accordance with the Gregorian Calendar. Ivan Kupala Even in the time of the ancient pagan deity Ancient Russians used to have Kupalo, the God of summer fertility. In his honor people of sang songs and jumped over the bonfire. This ritual act has become an annual celebration of summer solstice, combining a pagan and Christian traditions. Kupala got the name Ivan after the baptizing of Russia, when he was replaced by John the Baptist (the way he was percepted by common people), who baptized Christ and whose birthday was celebrated on 24 June.

  • Musica Sanat Corpus Per Animam': Towar Tu Erstanding of the Use of Music
    `Musica sanat corpus per animam': Towar tU erstanding of the Use of Music in Responseto Plague, 1350-1600 Christopher Brian Macklin Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Music Submitted March 2008 BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality 2 Abstract In recent decadesthe study of the relationship between the human species and other forms of life has ceased to be an exclusive concern of biologists and doctors and, as a result, has provided an increasingly valuable perspective on many aspectsof cultural and social history. Until now, however, these efforts have not extended to the field of music, and so the present study representsan initial attempt to understand the use of music in Werrn Europe's responseto epidemic plague from the beginning of the Black Death to the end of the sixteenth century. This involved an initial investigation of the description of sound in the earliest plague chronicles, and an identification of features of plague epidemics which had the potential to affect music-making (such as its geographical scope, recurrence of epidemics, and physical symptoms). The musical record from 1350-1600 was then examined for pieces which were conceivably written or performed during plague epidemics. While over sixty such pieces were found, only a small minority bore indications of specific liturgical use in time of plague. Rather, the majority of pieces (largely settings of the hymn Stella coeli extirpavit and of Italian laude whose diffusion was facilitated by the Franciscan order) hinted at a use of music in the everyday life of the laity which only occasionally resulted in the production of notated musical scores.

In introducing this booklet, we want to acquaint you with a short history of the monuments to the Four Immortals and Arrow Park where the monuments were erected. The park itself is situated in the beautiful hills of Upper New York State. One of its powerful attractions is a large lake for fishing, boating and swimming. Its vast wooded areas make for a beautiful resting place for the park's members and their friends. This naturally provided resort complex is complemented by specially built cottages for guests who spend their summers basking in the sun and enjoying the clean fresh air. Originally purchased by the progressive Russian American community, Arrow Park has presently become the center for other groups, including Ukrainian Americans, Polish Americans and many other nationality groups, in this manner adding an international touch to the whole project. During the summer months, Arrow Park hosts Ukrainian, Russian and Polish Days, at which the respective cultural groups (choirs, dancers and orchestras) present their programs and popularize the rich cultures of their nations for the benefit of warmly responding diverse audiences. Guided by the spirit of friendship and cultural relations with their brothers across the ocean, the shareholders of Arrow Park set up a special body, known as the Arrow Park Cultural Project Committee.

  • Stado I Kupała W Praktykach Obrzędowych Polskich Rodzimowierców. O Rewitalizacji Źródeł Etnograficznych I Historycznych
    Etnolingwistyka. Problemy Języka i Kultury 32 (2020) ISSN 0860-8032 e-ISSN 2449-8335 https://journals.umcs.pl/et I. Rozprawy i analizy DOI: 10.17951/et.2020.32.213 Piotr Grochowski Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika, Toruń, Polska ORCID: 0000-0001-7333-0439 e-mail: [email protected] Stado i Kupała w praktykach obrzędowych polskich rodzimowierców. O rewitalizacji źródeł etnograficznych i historycznych The feasts of “Stado” and “Kupala Night” in the rituals of the Polish Rodnovers. A revival of ethnographic sources Abstract: It is argued in this study that contemporary Rodnovers (practitioners of Slavic Native Faith, or Rodnovery) revive ethnographic and historical sources by applying two strategies: (re)construction of pre-Christian Slavic rituals and (re)paganisation of 19th-c. folk rituals. It is a new kind of practice: source materials are not modified for the purpose of presentation to receipients from “outside” (as is the case with folklore and historical reconstruction) but function as the basic substrate of religious customs and beliefs, practiced by Rodnovers themselves. Despite appearances, this is not a continuation of folk tradition but a new religious phenomenon, whose major actors use ethnography and folk content in a creative and unorthodox manner. Key words: new paganism; Rodnovery; new religious movements; Slavic Native Faith; folk rituals; Kupala Night Wstęp Teza, którą chciałbym rozwinąć w niniejszych rozważaniach i zilustro- wać dwoma przykładami, jest następująca: Formy obrzędów religijnych praktykowanych przez współczesnych polskich rodzimowierców kształtują 214 Piotr Grochowski się w wyniku procesu, który nazywam rewitalizacją źródeł etnograficznych i historycznych poprzez ich twórczą, nieortodoksyjną i wariantywną inter- pretację, a zarazem adaptację, czyli dostosowywanie do zrekonstruowanych wcześniej wierzeń przedchrześcijańskich Słowian oraz współczesnych wa- runków społeczno-kulturowych.
