Slavic Rebirth - Kolyada Winter God - a photo on Flickriver

             ⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ KOLYADA WINTER GOD ⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ 
The Slavic god Kolyada gave people a calendar, the etymology of this word is simple - Kolyada's Gift. 

Kolyada not only gave a convenient system for calculating years, months and days. He was also a god who sowed peace between neighboring nations. Legends say that the peoples following Kolyada always lived in complete harmony. 

Kolyada is a young deity. It symbolizes the young sun, which replaces the old one, tired from a year of work in the sky, shining during the holiday dedicated to this deity. The birth of Kolyada, the young sun, is identified with the birth of Jesus Christ. Many ancient pagan traditions were converted into a Christian way with the arrival of a new religion in the Slavic lands. Churches were built on the sites of the temples, and pagan holidays replaced Christian ones. However, Christmas, as you know, does not coincide with the winter solstice, which is celebrated on December 21-22 and is considered the first day of Kolyada.
