КАРАВОН(Karavon) 2011

Karavon been set out in the 16 century as a feast day - the Day of St. Nicholas, it has gradually turned into a massive popular games, which has survived only here in the Russian St. Nicholas Kazan, and, according to local folklore, has more than three hundred historical roots.

Since olden times this holiday was celebrated for three days. Starting with a church service in a rural church, then moved into the houses of the peasants, the family banquet table, and then - on the street, where festivities were held, and dance. Runaround were taken throughout the holiday. It was a special act by which girls and women in formal attire gathered at a designated location. Unusual and movement Karavon: according to ancient tradition, joining the little fingers, all participants are special "Karavon" step dance when it decreases, then increases slowly spinning "by the sun." At this time, often played the wedding, which celebrated, as they say.

тмечавшийся в XVI веке как престольный праздник -- День святителя и чудотворца Николая, он постепенно превратился в массовое народное игрище, которое сохранилось только здесь, в Русском Никольском под Казанью, и, как утверждают местные фольклористы, имеет более чем трехсотлетние исторические корни.

В старину этот праздник отмечался в течение трех дней. Начавшись с церковной службы в сельском храме, он переходил в дома крестьян, к семейным праздничным столам, а затем -- на улицу, где устраивались гулянья и хоровод. Хоровод водили на всем протяжении праздника. Это было особое действо, на которое девушки и женщины в праздничной одежде собирались в специально назначенное место. Необычно и движение в каравоне: по старинной традиции, соединившись мизинцами, все участники идут особым «каравонным» шагом, когда хоровод то уменьшается, то увеличивается, медленно вращаясь «по солнцу». В это время часто играли свадьбы, которые справляли, как говорится, всем миром.

@jdouglasfisher Yea,no crap? All we ever do is waste our money at stupid malls and eat crap food, watch stupid sports and bitch about how corrupt our leaders are as they bend us over with bs? I know that Russia has big problems with corruption too-and that life is probably alot "harder" over there? But they just look like happy and for the most part friendlier people than we are now that the Soviet days are remnants?I've never been there? But would love to go! Maybe I'm just talkin outta my A..?
