For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 our winter solstice: This is a linocut with collaged Japanese washi papers of a procession of Kolędnicy, or Kolęda carollers through the woods to honour the sun at Winter Solstice. The tradition, also known as Koliada or kolędowanie, dates to pre-Christian times but is now become associated with Christmas and usually celebrated Christmas Eve to Epiphany. 🧵

Less than a month left until Winter Solstice (December 21). Many cultures, oftenly pre-Christian cultures, celebrate it. Rn I'm focused mainly on researching European (particularly Slavic) pagan traditions. Happy #Koliada to Slavs and happy #Yule to Germanics. I'm celebrating it instead of Christmas basically, it is also the beginning of astronomical winter.

Slaavilaisessa perinteessä, kuten #Ukraina’ssa #joulu’n aikaa kutsutaan #koliada, #koljada, #kolyada #Коляда, tai #koleda.

Suomalainen monikulttuurinen #Maailma_kuoro järjestää #suomalaisukrainalaisen #Koljadajuhlan, ja kutsuu ukrainaa osaavia halukkaita mukaan.
