Ovako je Jelena bin Drai objasnila šta je Božić (foto)

Jelena bin Drai, bivša misica, veoma je atraktivna na društvenim mrežama, a poslednjom fotografijom na Instagramu oduševila je sve Srbe.

Naime, ona je na Božić, jedan od najvećih pravoslavnih praznika, na društvenoj mreži čestitala svima koji slave pozdravom Hristos se rodi, a uz to objasnila prave srpske običaje.

„Hristos se rodi! Danas je Božić, za one koji žele da nešto više saznaju o našem pravoslavnom prazniku i načinu kako se on slavi, evo kratkog opisa. U Srbiji se dan pre Božića zove Badnju dan i nakon zalaska sunca počinje Badnje veče.  Na ovaj dan se sprema posna hrana, pali se badnjak, a običaj je u Vojvodini da deca posle večere idu od kuće do kuće i pevaju. Ovaj običaj se zove „korinđanje“, a deca koja pevaju „korinđaši“. Deca zvone na vrata komšija, čestitaju praznik i pitaju da li smeju da pevaju, a kao nagradu dobiju poklone: novac, jabuke, slatkiše… Nakon Badnje večeri, Srbi slave Božić, što je deminutiv od reči Bog, a može se prevesti kao „mladi Bog“. Na dan Božića praznik se čestita rečima „Hristos se rodi“, a uzvraća se sa „Vaistinu se rodi“. Prva osoba koja na Božić uđe u kući zove se „položajnik“ ili „radovan“. Obavezan deo trpeze je česnica (pogača). U Vojvodini se pravi slatka čestica, od vafla, meda… U česnicu se stavlja novčić i ako se on pronađe, veruje se da  donosi zdravlje i prosperitet onome ko ga pronađe u česnici“, napisala je Jelena na svom Instagram profilu.

Hristos se rodi! Today is my Christmas,so for those who would like to know more about our Ortodox way to celebrate it,here is small intro. The Serbian name for Christmas Eve is Badnji dan. After sunset it becomes Badnje veče. On this day, the family makes preparations for the oncoming celebration. The dinner on this day is festive, copious and diverse in foods, although it is prepared in accordance with the rules of fasting.As a part of a tradition we place Oak tree on a fire,throw straw with walnuts on the floor. It is a custom in my Vojvodina region that, after Christmas Eve dinner, groups of children go from house to house of their neighborhood and sing to neighbors. This custom is called korinđanje, and the children who participate in it are called korinđaši. They knock on a neighbor’s door when the neighbor comes out they greet him, and ask if they are allowed to sing. If the answer is affirmative, they sing a children’s ditty or the Troparion of the Nativity. As a reward, the neighbor gives them candies or even money; more traditional gifts include walnuts, prunes, apples, and cakes. Serbian name for Christmas is Božić ( pronounced [ˈbɔ̌ʒitɕ]), which is the diminutive form of the word bog („god“), and can be translated as „young god“. On these days, one is to greet another person by saying „Christ is Born,“ which should be responded to with „Truly He is Born,“ or in Serbian: „Hristos se rodi“[ˈxristɔs sɛ ˈrɔdi] – „Vaistinu se rodi“ [ˈʋaistinu sɛ ˈrɔdi] A polažajnik or radovan, is the first person who visits the family on Christmas Day. An indispensable part of Christmas dinner is the česnica, a round loaf of bread. In Vojvodina a different, sweet cake/pie variety of česnica is made, using walnuts, honey and special pie breading. Hidden coin in česnica will bring wealth and prosperity to the one who is lucky to find it on Christmas day in his slice
