We celebrate Vasilyovden

 

 

On January 1, the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Vasilyovden or Survaki. On this day, Eastern Christians honor the memory of St. Basil the Great. One of the great philosophers and writers of the early Christian church.

The folk tradition connects the feast of St. Basil the Great with the custom of Survakane. In spite of this small difference from the Christmas groups, Vasilyovden gathers young men who roam the houses at night and soak up their owners. Groups of children are also celebrating the holiday, which also overwhelms the owners of the houses. Survanking itself is a kind of extension of the Christmas blessings. Like the carols and the Suvarakar groups, they have a leader and a person who acts as a donkey and collects money and other gifts. Again, just as the carols bring crooks with them, so too do the Vasuvayden survivors carry driftwood, decorated with popcorn, dried fruits and wool. In some places, the pear is used instead of dripwood, ie. pear tree branches.

On Vasilyev's day they have Vasil, Vasilka, Vasilij, Vasilen, Veselin, Veselina, Vesela, Vasili, Vasilina, Vasiyana, Vaso, Vlad, Vladin, Vladin, Vlastomir, Vlayko, Vata, Val, Val, Vata, Tsarena, Tsaril, Tsarila . / BGNES
