Abstract
In the article on the basis of field ethnographic materials of the author, published field materials, archival materials from the laboratory of ethnology and local history of Uzhgorod National University, as well as available literature, an analysis of the characteristic features of the leading holidays after the winter cycle lemkos of Transcarpathian at the end of the XIX – first half of the XX centuries. In the post-Christmas annual folk calendar cycle, the author identified the following major holidays: Old New Year's Eve (january 14), St. Babin's Evening (January 18), Baptism of the Lord (january 19), John the Baptist (january 20), the Presentation of the Lord (february 15). The winter holidays after the Christmas cycle are characterized by the author through the prism of the combination of pagan and Christian rice and associated with the rest of nature, which the people called «the fall of the earth». The symbolism of the study holidays in the first place was to facilitate the preparation for spring field work, it is imbued with divination for the future harvest, worship of economic activities - agriculture, cattle breeding, beekeeping. In winter holidays, unlike other calendar dates, it is better to observe the respect of ancestors, respect for relatives and relatives, fellow villagers. Winter rites are associated with ancient myths about the birth of the universe. The custom-ritual culture of Ukrainians today is changing under the pressure of globalization. Patterns of mass-media samples of modern American masculinity (Helloween, Valentine's Day, Walpurgis's Night), penetrating into the youth subculture, supersede the national, peculiar as superstitious on the cultural side. Modern life requires an effective program of state-level measures aimed at the revival and popularization of the moral and ethical component of national calendar holidays, national customs and rituals that will promote the education of Ukrainian youth in the best traditions of our people. One of the most effective ways of doing this is research that is similar to ours. They are an excellent foundation for organizing and holding various cultural and artistic events aimed at popularizing traditional folk culture, including calendar ceremonies.
