In spring the earth warms up,
And in the summer it blooms.
And again glorify the trinity
Both old and young will come.
The birch tree is braided,
Wreaths float in the river
And the holiday begins
And everyone is waiting for the beginning.
The ringing of bells is heard. A man and two women (handkerchiefs, aprons) come out of the door.
I love the service in a rural church,
The shutters are open, the air is flowing,
According to the face of the image, according to the frame
The butterfly scurries quietly.
And in the church there is a garden: above our heads
Flowers for girls who came
They are alive in rows,
Full of spring diversity.
Echoing the holy words of prayer
At the consecration of gifts.
Various little birds, chattering,
They chirp at the windows from the bushes.
(K. Sluchevsky)
The young people turn to them and bow to each other.
Hello to the party,
On to the merry fun.
Bless for the walk,
Trinity - the Mother of God to celebrate.
The elders put a wreath on the girl’s head.
The guys pin a flower on their cap and bow to each other.
The elders leave, music sounds. (The elders are sitting on the rubble).

And he will lead the song.

They approach the river and throw wreaths.
I went for a walk in the green garden.
I picked a flower from the grass.

I'll stand on the cotton slam
I'll throw my wreath on the water.
And I’ll go away myself,
I'll look at my wreath.
Does the wreath sink or not?
Does your friend love you or not?
My wreath floated well, calmly -
May I be happy.
Ah, my wreath sank,
Some kind of grief awaits me.
No, it didn't sink, look
If you are spinning on the spot, there will be a lot of trouble.
The elders are approaching.
God willing, there will be happy chores.

This article offers you tips and ideas for organizing a rural holiday in honor of the Trinity.
Trinity is an important Orthodox holiday, which is very loved and respected by believers. There are many traditions and customs associated with this holiday that can and should be honored. The Trinity holiday is a celebration of life and nature. The main symbol of the celebration is a young tree or birch branches, which are compared to the exuberance of young life.
On this holiday everyone rejoices, feasts and sings songs. The church prepares for the Trinity meeting a whole week in advance. This is done through special prayer songs and decorating the temple with greenery. It is interesting that the Trinity is preceded by Parents' Trinity Saturday- a day on which to remember deceased ancestors and loved ones who passed away by suicide (the only day when the church allows this).
Orthodox people (not clergy) celebrate Trinity for one day. The holiday always falls on Sunday. On this day it is strictly forbidden to work on the land, wash or sew. It is only allowed to cook, cook food and carry out small household chores (if, for example, something has spilled and it needs to be cleaned up urgently).
IMPORTANT: It is believed that if a person violates this custom of celebrating the Trinity and engages in daily work, he easily incurs crop failure, livestock diseases and his own illness.
After Trinity comes the week of Christmastide, and after them comes Peter's Fast. There is no exact date for fasting, since its time periods depend only on how early or late Easter is celebrated in the year.
How to celebrate Trinity:
- On the Saturday before Trinity, deceased relatives are remembered, their graves are visited and put in order.
- On Sunday, people go to church for prayer, light candles for health at the necessary icons and candles for the repose of souls.
- On Sunday, it is customary to decorate the house with branches of young trees, preferably birch, to attract well-being and health.
- On Trinity Sunday it is customary to visit relatives and friends, visit friends and have feasts.

Scenario for the summer holiday Trinity
The holiday is held in a forest clearing. The center of the clearing is an improvised stage, in the middle of which there is a birch tree. Before the start of the performance there is a soundtrack; Russian folk songs, text recorded in 2 voices: (male and female)
Good 1st Day to all those celebrating!
Listen, honest people, what the biblical legend tells about. On the fiftieth day after Christ's Resurrection, the holy spirit descended on his disciples, the apostles. This was an order from God the Father to bring the message of Christianity to “all peoples and languages.” This legend confirms the existence of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This is the meaning of this holiday.
2nd And in Rus', the Trinity merged with the ancient Slavic holiday - Semika. It marked the end of spring and the beginning of summer! The symbol of blossoming nature in Russia was and remains a young birch tree! Happy holiday to you, sir and madam.
[Russian folk melody]
2 presenters appear on stage: Krasna maiden and Good fellow
1 led. Good day to you, beautiful girls!
2 Beautiful maiden and to you, good fellows!
Good fellow. Respectable and young people!
Beautiful girl. Thick and thin!
Good fellow. Today we celebrate “Green Christmastide” and celebrate Trinity!
Beautiful girl. We say goodbye to spring and welcome red summer! In ancient times, on this Day, on the eve of Trinity, girls were dedicated and accepted as members of their clan. And the girls led cheerful round dances, curled multi-colored wreaths, decorated the native birch tree, which gave a person a supernatural life-giving force!
Good fellow. Let's see how it was!
Beautiful girl. By the way, when the girls were making wreaths, dancing in circles, telling fortunes on wreaths, and swimming, the boys weren’t around. So, it turns out that today you are spying on girls! Well then, be quiet, be careful! And we are starting! (A folk melody sounds. Girls in red sundresses come on stage. One of the girls is dressed in a “birch tree” (green sundress, wreath made of birch branches))
The phonogram sounds;
1st Birch white,
Curly birch,
what did you arrive on?
Birch on the carpet, on gold
On satin, on velvet; -
2nd “Who were you visiting?” -
Birch from father, from mother,
In the clan, in the tribe,
At the Red Girls.
3rd Birch curly,
Curly, youthful,
Below you, birch tree,
It is not the fire that burns;
It's not the poppy that blooms,
It's not the fire that burns -
Red girls
They stand in a round dance,
About you birch
All songs are sung.
(The song “There was a birch tree in the field” is performed)
Girls dance in a round dance. They curl wreaths and say sentences;
1st My wreath, my green
Wreath, wreath, scarlet flower.
Who will I give my wreath to?
2nd And I will wish for my wreath on my dear friend Alexei! Let my wreath not wither on the birch tree, and when I throw it into the water, let it wash ashore, so next year I’ll marry him!
3rd And I will wish for my own wreath for my father and my mother!
May my wreath not wither, and may my parents be healthy!
4th Well, friends, is the cuckoo silent? Cuckoo, cuckoo, how old am I when I'm a girl?
(The cuckoo crows 3-4 times)
Thank you, cuckoo! And that’s okay, the dowry is not ready yet!
We girls will do the job,
5th We have already curled the white birch tree
We are already a wreath - for the priest,
The second one is for my mother,
And the third wreath is for yourself!
(They put wreaths on the birch)
1st Through a birch wreath - we will kiss each other, we will become friends:
Let's kiss godfather, let's kiss,
So that you and I don't fight,
Always friends.
(They kiss each other through a birch wreath)
2nd You still need to grow up, and more
3rd Before the attack, unbraid your braid in two, so that matchmakers and matchmakers do not leave the house, so that you do not sit at home
Performing the song "Go away, grief, go away..."
The girls leave during the song.
Good fellow.: I saw everything, and heard everything!
How I wish Alyonkin’s wreath would not wither!
I dream of having a wedding in the fall! Alyonka - poppy color,
There is nothing else like it in nature!
I’ll cover it more securely in leaves, so that the wind doesn’t blow it, the sun doesn’t dry it out, and the rain doesn’t wash it away!
(Tries to move the wreath to another branch)
(Alarming sounds are heard.< Ау - уу>- the mermaids call to each other. From different ends of the clearing people gather around the birch tree. They surround the good fellow. He tries to get out, but nothing works. Mermaids are dancing)
There is a soundtrack against the background of melody and dance.
Why, good fellow, have you forgotten that during the mermaid week you cannot linger alone in the forest until nightfall!
Mermaids will tickle you to death, and you are still so young. And your Alenka won’t see you!
The guys appear. The button accordion plays, they see mermaids, they shout:
"Chase the mermaids!" They run after the mermaids, the mermaids run away in different directions.
They catch up with two mermaids, bring them to the center of the stage, and lash their shoulders with wormwood branches:
1st Here’s to you, so that you don’t bite, don’t pinch, and don’t drown people or trample crops
(The mermaids leave)
1st Well, now they drove the mermaids away, I don’t want to have fun, the mermaids finished their games and took the evil and dirty tricks deeper into the forest, to the bottom of the stinking swamp, people rejoice in the clear sun, the green tree and the red flower.
All the guys come up to the birch tree and take off their wreaths.
Girls approach the birch tree.
Oh, am I walking around the town?
Am I looking for the affectionate Lada
(puts a wreath on the girl)
2nd Am I walking around the town?
Am I looking for an affectionate father-in-law?
Am I walking around the town?
Am I looking for an affectionate mother-in-law?
Am I walking around the town?
Am I looking for affectionate shauryas?
Pairs are formed. The game is on - "Stream"
Performing the song "A Stream Flows" and dancing at the same time.
(Good fellow) It's time to play burners
(There is also such a game)
Playing "burners" is a blessing!
So let's start playing!
(Good fellow (plays the game)
Burn, burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out
Look at the sky:
Birds are flying
The bells are ringing:
(carried out 2-3 times,
Performing the song "I'll Go Out"
At this time, the fellows are playing “forged chains”).
A good fellow and a beautiful girl come to the microphones.
Good fellow: This is how the Russian people are having fun at the glorious Trinity Day.
Beautiful maiden: And since in Rus' the Trinity merged with the ancient Slavic holiday - Semik - the seventh Thursday after Easter - it was impossible to walk without the pagan folk characters Semik and Semenikha! Here they are!
Two characters appear. They are dressed in old rags, Semik is in grief, in their hands they have a thin bucket, a stick, a broom. They hit the bucket with a stick.
This is a fun time, a sign of celebration. In their hands they hold a stuffed animal made of straw and a birch branch.
Young people surround them, the semik disperses the curious with a stick.
I am Semik, I came honest and welcoming
He didn’t come alone, he came with his wife.
Summer has come to promise red,
May everyone have great health,
Yes, visible wealth.
I am Semik's wife!
I’m wearing silk clothes, made of silk, I came to promise you faithful husbands,
Yes, guys in love with girls!
Good fellow: Semik, may your promise come true.
Beautiful maiden: Anyone can promise!
Semik: From ancient times, we, like the birch tree, are a sign of the holiday!
That the birch tree gives healing powers to everyone who leans against it - you believe.
That's how we are! We will heal everyone with a birch branch, take away grief and misfortune from you,
We will call upon you wealth, but there is one condition.
Red maiden: Which one?
Semik: People shouldn't be greedy! Show generosity! Serve for the meal!
Seminikha: Give us some awl and some soap,
White white and a mirror!
Semik: Candy, not money
For the red girl!
Together with the youth they go around everyone, people serve and treat!
At this time songs are performed.
Good fellow. For a long time, and even now, round dancing has been held in high esteem by us.
Today is a holiday. Hey people!
Zavodika - like a round dance!
Beautiful girl. True, it was customary to dance in a circle at Trinity: Our ancestors believed
That by dancing they help the sun, the main source of life. They say that such a round dance could stretch from village to village. So let's make a circle around the whole wide world, well, at least the whole clearing! And at this time Semik will heal everyone with a birch branch, drive away illnesses!
So, let's begin!
Round dance music ("Go away grief" "There is a birch tree in the field or a song performed by a choir)"
Semik fans everyone with a birch branch.
Semik. Let grief, illness, trouble go away! Let everything burn in this fire brought to the "Green Branches" along with this bunch of straw! Let the summer be fruitful and without fires..!
(They light a fire and burn the effigy)
(Performance of the song.)
Good fellow. Well, what about the people celebrating? If now a round dance girl comes out and brings out a loaf decorated with flowers and puts it on the center of the tablecloth in the clearing, then the worldly meal will begin! Lay out the tablecloths and sit down for the commemoration. The beautiful maiden brings in a loaf decorated with flowers. Bread and salt and peace to your home! Let's arrange, good people, a Trinity meal! Sit closer to the earth, may the earth give you strength! Good fellow. And the fun in the clearing continues.
Our guests sing loudly - this is the Indian Summer ensemble of the Maloyeniseisk House of Culture.
The melody of the song "Go Away" sounds
A good fellow and a beautiful maiden on stage.
Good fellow. The Russian people say: they live well where they sing a lot.
Beautiful girl. And today we sang and danced a lot: Time will pass, Semik will come again
And Trinity, let’s wish for happiness again!
Together. All the best!
Trinity festivities script
Leading.
Today we celebrate one of the most important Christian holidays - Holy Trinity Day. This day is the fiftieth day from Easter, which is why the second name of the holiday is Pentecost.
This is what we read in the Acts of the Apostles:
Before His suffering and death, the Lord promised the apostles to send them from the Lord the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth. Before the Ascension He repeated this promise again.
After the Ascension of the Lord, His disciples and apostles returned to Jerusalem and entered the very house in Zion where the Last Supper took place. The Mother of God was also there. They felt like one person and prayed all together, waiting for the fulfillment of the Lord’s words and the descent of the Holy Spirit on them, preparing to accept His grace-filled gifts. And so, just on the day when everyone was celebrating the day of the Ten Commandments, and the people, filling the streets and squares of the city, were walking to the temple, at nine o’clock in the morning a noise was suddenly heard in the air, such as happens during a storm from a gust of strong wind. This noise came from above, from the sky, but gradually penetrated into the house where the apostles gathered and filled everything with its pure sound. It was not the wind, but only a sound similar to it. At the same moment, tongues of fire appeared in the middle of the house, dividing and stopping above the head of each of the apostles.
Everyone sings a prayer to the Holy Spirit together in Slavic:
Heavenly King,/ Comforter, Soul of truth,/ Who is everywhere and fulfills everything,/ Treasure of good things/ and Giver of life,/ come and dwell in us,/ and cleanse us from all filth,// and save, O Good One, our souls.
Leading.
This was the first miracle, but after it a second, even more amazing, happened. The apostles and everyone who had gathered in the house when the Holy Spirit descended on them suddenly began speaking in every known language. This was one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In all languages, the apostles glorified the greatness of God, His wonderful deeds, which they witnessed.
Several participants (teachers or students who have prepared in advance) read a prayer to the Holy Spirit in different languages:
In Greek:
Vasilev urania, Paraclete, then pneuma tis alithias o pandahu paron ke ta panda pliron, o Thisavros tone agathon ke zois horigos, ilthe ke skinoson en imin ke katharison imas apo pasis kelidos ke soson agathe tas psychas imon.
(th - sound as in English)
In Latin:
Rex Caelestis, Paraclite, Spiritus veri, Qui ubique ades et omnia imples, Thesaure bonorum et vitae Dator. Veni inhabitaque in nos et purge nos omni obscenitate, et salve, bone, animas nostras.
In English:
O Heavenly King
O Heavenly King – the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, The Treasury of blessings and the Giver of Life. Come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save, O Gracious One, our souls.
Leading.
The most interesting thing was that everyone heard the language to which they were accustomed. Many listened to the sermon of the apostles, asked for baptism, and on the same day about 3 thousand people who had not previously believed in Jesus Christ joined the Church. Thus ended the day of Pentecost, which became the birthday of the Christian Church.
Leading.
The upper room, where the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles, was decorated with flowers and herbs. This is where the custom of decorating houses and temples on this day came from. After all, green is the color of renewal. The symbol of blossoming nature in Russia was and remains a young birch tree.
They tried to celebrate Trinity Day not in the house, but in the garden, in the forest, in the field. Let’s go and we’ll go out and glorify the birch tree.
Everyone goes outside. The girls start a round dance around the birch tree. The boys are standing nearby. The birch tree stands in the center of the clearing, bowing its head and branches. The music “There was a birch tree in the field” sounds. The girls dance around the birch tree. At the end of the round dance, Birch “comes to life.”
Birch.
You are my dear girls,
You are truly faithful friends!
Oh, thank you for the outfits you gave me,
For tender songs, for daring dances.
How I heard sonorous songs,
Yes, I came to you for the holiday. I have come to life - I want to have fun,
Sing songs, lead round dances.
Beryozka starts a comic round dance to a Russian folk melody for all the children. Birch shows the movements, and the guys repeat. After the round dance, Birch complains.
Birch.
“Oh, there are thick, thick leaves on the birch tree, Oh-li, oh lyuli, there are leaves on the birch tree. Gentlemen, boyars, peasant peasants! I can’t stand, hold the branches...
Leading.
Pluck a leaf from our birch tree, You will find consolation in it - not tears. The Holy Fathers once said so,
The Church brought this to us, guys!
Students run up to a birch tree, on which pieces of paper cut out from paper are pre-attached, with sayings of the holy fathers and sayings written on them - grains of folk wisdom. The guys read and explain the sayings they read.
THE HUMBLE WORD TAMES ANGER.
REPENT, AND DON’T DO THE SAME AGAIN.
WHAT IS LOVED TO THE BODY IS ROUGH TO THE SOUL.
WHO LOVES THE WORKS OF GOD, TO HIM LIFE IS LOVE AND SWEET.
A SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION IS BETTER THAN A NEAT DINNER.
TO LIVE IS TO SERVE GOD.
WITHOUT THE GOSPEL IS LIKE WITHOUT THE SUN – AND IT IS DARK AT THE WINDOW IN THE DAY.
WHO DOES NOT LIKE REVENTION DOES NOT WANT CORRECTION.
GOD LOVES THE RIGHTEOUS MAN, AND THE DEMONS LOVE THE SNEAKER.
IN A SMART CONVERSATION YOU WILL GET YOUR MIND, AND IN A STUPID CONVERSATION YOU WILL LOST YOUR MIND.
FEAR THE ALMIGHTY - DON'T SAY TOO MUCH.
TALK LESS TO OTHERS, AND MORE TO GOD.
HONOR YOUR PARENTS TO GOD, AND GO EVERYWHERE.
PRAY TO GOD WITH YOUR TONGUE, AND DON’T BE LAZY TO WORK WITH YOUR HANDS.
WHERE IS LOVE, THERE IS GOD, YET QUIET, YES SMOOTH, YES THE GRACE OF GOD.
IN SIMPLE HEARTS GOD HIMSELF RESTS.
LIVE MORE HUMBLY AND YOU WILL BE NICE TO EVERYONE.
GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
THE DEVIL WAS PROUD, AND FELL FROM THE SKY.
DO NOT HURRY TO ANSWER, BUT HURRY TO LISTEN.
IN TROUBLE DO NOT FEAR, BUT TRUST IN GOD.
WHO IS SATISFIED WITH SMALL THINGS IS NOT FORGOT WITH GOD.
BE WITH PRAYER ON YOUR PITS AND WORK IN YOUR HANDS.
GOD ONLY DOES NOT SAVE THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO BE SAVED.
THERE IS NO THING MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRAYER.
DON'T THINK BADLY ABOUT PEOPLE - GRACE WILL COME AWAY.
THE WEAKNESS OF THE SOUL WILL BE HEALED BY CHRIST THROUGH THE MOUTH OF THE SPIRITUAL FATHER.
TO CONSOLE THE MOURNING AND SORRY IS ABOVE MANY GOOD DEEDS.
WITHOUT GOD YOU WILL NOT REACH THE THRESHOLD.
SILENCE IS THE CONSORT OF WISDOM.
TRINITY GAMES
Leading.
And now let's play - “braid the fence”, get up and you are with us, Berezonka.
Game "Weave"
Children join hands and stand in four lines (one opposite the other). Hands intertwined, as in the dance of swans from the ballet “Swan Lake”.
To the music of a Russian folk melody, each of the ranks in turn walks towards the opposite rank and bows. After bowing, the children return to their original place. As the merry dance begins, the children leave their ranks, disperse throughout the room, and dance using well-known dance movements. As soon as the music ends, each line must take its original place, and the children quickly and correctly “braid the fence” (hold hands crosswise).
The 1st and 2nd fences walk towards each other and say the following words:
A shadow fell from the fence -
In the heat, the coolness is pleasing.
The 1st and 2nd fences step back and say the following words:
It's good that the fence itself
It doesn't fall on me.
The 3rd and 4th fences walk towards each other and say the following words:
A shadow fell from the fence -
In the heat, the coolness is pleasing.
The 3rd and 4th fences step back and say the following words:
It's good that the fence itself
It doesn't fall on me.
Competition "Braids"
Berezka is holding rings with woven ribbons in her hands. Two girls come out and braid their hair, see who is faster and more careful.
Choruses for Trinity
"We will curl a wreath
We are on all holidays,
We are on all holidays,
For all holidays
For all holidays
To the Brass,
To the Brass,
For wreaths."
"Come on, girls,
Curl the wreaths!
Let's curl the wreaths,
Let's curl green!
Stop, my wreath,
Green all week
And I, young
Have fun all year!"
"On the mountain of the city
The gates are curled,
Natalya walked through those gates,
She led the red girls behind her,
Red girls, all girlfriends.
Tatyana followed Natalya,
Led along..."
"Birch, birch,
Curl, curly
The girls have come to you
The Reds have come to you,
The pie was brought
With scrambled eggs."
Burners
The game "Burners" is traditionally a three-player game. While the song is being sung, the couple is preparing to start, and with the last words of the verse, she must snatch the ribbon from the hands of other participants. The one who does it first will win. Experts in folklore say that in the old days the whole village played “Gorelki”.
And those who did not like such fun tested their skill in the “Battle of Sacks”. Weight categories were not taken into account - balance was more important.
Well, in order to test their accuracy, participants in the Trinity festivities could play “Dice.” The rules are simple: from a certain distance you need to hit the selected object.
Burners with handkerchief
Players stand in pairs one behind the other. The driver is in front, holding a handkerchief in his hand above his head.
All in chorus:
Burn, burn clearly
So that it doesn't go out.
Look at the sky
Birds are flying
The bells are ringing!
The children of the last pair run along the column (one on the right, the other on the left). The one who reaches the driver first takes a handkerchief from him and stands with it in front of the column, and the latecomer “burns,” that is, leads.
Hares and wattle fence
The players are divided into two teams of equal strength - the hares and the fence. Two parallel lines are drawn - a corridor 10-15 cm wide. The fence players, holding hands, stand in the center of the corridor, and the hares - at one end of the site. The wattle children read:
Hare, the hare won't come in
To our green garden! The fence, braid yourself, the hares are climbing, save yourself!
At the last word, the hares run to the fence and try to tear it apart or slip under the hands of the players. The hares that slipped through gather at the other end of the corridor, and those who were detained are told:
“Go back to the forest and gnaw on the aspen!”
And they are out of the game. The wicker children turn to face the hares and read:
Won't come in another time,
The fence saved us from the hares.
The game is repeated until all the hares are caught. After this, they change roles. Rules of the game. The winner is the group that catches all the hares with fewer starts.
Game "Stream"
Scenario for the Trinity holiday
Characters: a modern young man, girls in Russian folk costumes, a presenter.
On the stage there are decorations depicting a summer landscape. There is a separate model of a birch tree.
Leading. Trinity is the last of the year among the so-called “moving” Christian holidays. They are called transitional because they are associated with Easter.
There are many popular sayings about the Trinity:
God loves trinity.
Without the Trinity, a house cannot be built.
The Trinity of fingers makes a cross.
She has her own signs and teachings: “It’s raining on Trinity Street - there are a lot of mushrooms; There are no round dances from Trinity to Dormition.”
The origin of the holiday of the Trinity is associated with the acts of Jesus Christ after his Ascension and concerns about the spread of his teachings among all peoples of the world. According to legend, thanks to the descent of the Holy Spirit, the apostles - disciples of Jesus Christ - spoke the languages of all the nations inhabiting the earth, and were able to preach the teachings of Christ everywhere, among all the peoples of the world at that time.
Theologians claim that the Holy Trinity participated in this event - the Holy Spirit came from God the Father, and he was sent by God the Son.
There are traces of a picnic on the stage, modern music is playing, girls and boys in modern clothes are noisily passing by. Only one young man remains on stage.
Young man. Oh, looks like I got lost. Hey, someone answer! (No one answers.) Well, where is everyone?
A birch tree mounted on a cross moves to the center of the hall. Russian folk music sounds. Laughter can be heard behind the stage. The young man looks around cautiously. Two girls in Russian folk costumes appear on stage to the music.
1st girl. Wow, what an unprecedented miracle! Who are you, brownie?
Young man (confused). Not really…
2nd girl. I know, I know, this is an overseas Miracle Yudo!
Young man. I'm not a miracle, I'm a simple person!
1st girl. Somehow you don’t look like people... but you know, come with us!
Young man. With you? And where to?
2nd girl. Curl a birch tree!
A girl in a sundress and a wreath of birch branches runs onto the stage.
Young woman. Oh, girls, oh, beauties,
Beautiful girls-friends!
Tomorrow is Trinity and the green.
Let's go to the forest and curl a birch tree
Yes, braid wreaths,
Say goodbye to spring,
It's great to welcome summer!
Girls run out in ancient Russian outfits. On their heads are wreaths of flowers and birch branches. In hands are eggs, Easter cakes, pies, ribbons. They approach the birch tree. They surround her and take turns praising her:
- Oh yes beauty!
- Oh yes curly!
- Oh yes, slim!
The girls hold hands and dance in a circle. They sing the song “There was a birch tree in the field.”
There was a birch tree in the field,
There was a curly girl standing in the field.
Lyuli-lyuli, stood.
Lyuli-lyuli, stood.
Someone to break a birch tree,
There is no one to wrangle the curly hair.
Lyuli-lyuli, wrap it up.
Lyuli-lyuli, wrap it up.
I'll go for a walk in the field,
I will break a white birch tree.
Lyuli-lyuli, I’ll break it.
Lyuli-lyuli, I’ll break it.
Young man. How beautifully everything turns out for you, and you sing well, but I don’t understand what you are celebrating?
1st girl. And we celebrate Trinity, a great holiday. Trinity is the last of the year among the so-called “moving” Christian holidays. Trinity Sunday falls on the 50th day after Easter. The seventh week after Easter is called “green Christmastide”, “Rusalya” or “Semikova”. The week ends on Sunday with the celebration of Trinity.
2nd girl. On Semik (Thursday) we girls put on our best clothes, weave wreaths from birch branches and flowers, and go into the forest to curl a birch tree.
The girls take turns continuing to glorify the birch.
Birch-birch tree,
Curl, curly!
The girls have come to you
The pies arrived with scrambled eggs!
In the clearing, in the meadow
The birch tree was bent.
Her girls were curling,
Decorated with scarlet ribbon,
The birch tree was glorified:
"White birch tree"
Come for a walk with us,
Let's go play songs!
Leading. The girls twisted the tops of birch branches, tied colored ribbons on it, and made wishes for fate and wishes:
- Let's grow a birch tree!..
- Let's make wishes!
The girls put eggs and Easter cakes under the birch tree, and intertwine the birch branches with colored ribbons. Make wishes.
3rd girl. I look at the ring at my father.
Another ring for my mother.
The third ring is for yourself.
4th girl. I look at my sister with a ring.
Another for my brother.
And the third ring is for yourself!
Leading. They “celebrated” under the birch tree, kissed, and exchanged crosses through wreaths. A very cheerful ritual was performed around a “broken” birch tree. They made a stuffed cuckoo from twigs and grass and “baptized” it in a funny way. During baptism, the girls “celebrated.” The future godfathers, sticking their faces into the curled birch wreath, kissed and immediately exchanged pectoral crosses. At the same time they sang:
All the girls: Let's kiss, godfather, let's kiss!
So that you and I don't fight,
Be friends forever!
Girls kiss through wreaths, exchange crosses and handkerchiefs.
5th girl. Gossip darling,
Gray cuckoo!
Let's have fun with you,
Let's make friends with you,
Let's exchange crosses,
So that you and I don't quarrel,
And always laugh!
Leading. The comic ceremony of “christening” seriously brought the young village women closer together, as if making them closer, and the “accused” often remained faithful friends for many years. A quarrel between committed girlfriends was considered a great sin. And this sin had to be atone for a long time.
6th girl. You are my godmother
I'm your darling.
Gossip darling!
Let's open the fire!
Will you be my assistant?
Helper for my hands!
The girls sit under a birch tree and eat ritual food: scrambled eggs, loaf, porridge.
1st girl. The first spoon of porridge goes to the birch tree, and the crumbs go to the cuckoo. (Addressing the young man.) And you, guy, be careful, otherwise the mermaids will tickle you.
Young man. What is this?
2nd girl. The mermaid is revered in our country as a forest goddess; mermaids turn into cuckoos. A mermaid of unprecedented beauty will come out of the water, enchant you, tickle you, and drag you to the bottom. You are not allowed to swim during Rusal week.
Leading. Seventh Thursday in the forest is a girls' holiday. And on this day the adults, along with the boys, the future owners, hurried to the fair, to the big bazaar, which had been noisy in the nearest city or large village since early morning. The fair was not only a noisy marketplace. But also a place for general fun and entertainment. She could not do without carousels, puppet theaters, organ grinders and bear dances.
Saturday is the day of remembrance of ancestors. In the morning, all the people went to the cemetery, decorated the graves with birch branches, flowers and grass. They remembered the deceased with kind words, said about them: “It has been a will to remember our fathers from time immemorial,” and left treats on the graves: eggs and pies.
On Trinity Day, the surrounding area heard a solemn announcement from all the bell towers. Prayers were held in churches decorated with greenery. People were heading to mass with bouquets of flowers and green branches.
3rd girl. White birch is a symbol of the blossoming of nature. She sheltered the Mother of God and Christ in bad weather. On Trinity Sunday we will go into the forest again and unravel the broken birch tree. Let's cut down another tree, bring it home, decorate it with ribbons and put it in the front corner like a Christmas tree.
4th girl. Girlfriends!
Gossip darlings!
Let's go to the river
Throw wreaths into the water,
Guessing about the grooms!
5th girl. I'll go to the Volga River,
I'll stand on the steep bank,
I'll throw the wreath on the water,
I'll step away and have a look:
Is it sinking, is it not drowning?
My wreath is on the water.
1st girl. My wreath has sunk
My darling remembered me:
“Oh light, my dear!
O light, my affable one!”
Leading. “Semic”, or “Rusal”, a week with Trinity Day ending it, was the most favorite holiday of rural youth. This was sung about:
Like we have three holidays a year:
The first holiday is Semik honest,
Another holiday is Trinity Day,
And the third holiday is the Bathing Suit.
Young man. Yes, our ancestors were not fools to have fun, they celebrated for weeks. And I like it better!
2nd girl. Stay with us after Trinity, the seventh week of the Spirit will come. This is where we'll have some fun! We will arrange a “Seeing-off for the mermaid”.
Leading. The week after Trinity was also famous for its cheerful rituals. This is how it took place in the villages of the Lower Volga. Almost everywhere there was an intricate procession of mummers to the river. A monster was moving ahead, which, covered with one sail, was represented by several guys. Someone was carrying a horse skull on a pole. The monster was urged on by a brightly painted driver with a whip. A crowd of girls with wreaths in their hands walked behind with mischievous songs. The monster was drowned in the Volga, and the girls threw their wreaths after it. And they made a wish: whose wreath would float, she would soon get married, and whose wreath would drown, she would face the bitter fate of a widow or an old maid.
Young man. You know, we, people of the 21st century, have a lot to learn from you - the ability to see the poetic side of life, the ability to cherish and love nature, to admire its beauty. And it wouldn’t hurt for us to borrow your warmth and philanthropy.
All participants of the celebration go on stage.
1st girl. We looked into the old days -
It was as if the rain had washed our hearts.
Just didn’t finish the strings
Our song to the end.
2nd girl. We cannot sing all the glorious songs,
Don't say all the kind words
Our Russian land is wonderful,
Forever young and forever new!
To the music, the performance participants leave the stage.

They catch up with us, and Vanka solemnly and proudly confirms: “Highway!” I don’t know what meaning he puts into this word, but he pronounces it flawlessly. We haven't had this much fun for a long time. None of those walking notice any difference under their feet - as we walked on flat rocky tops without a path, so we walk. From the saddle, I can still see more clearly the almost imperceptible thing that has begun to distinguish the path.
The mood was lifted. And the weather is light and joyful, and the road is pleasant, despite the climbs, and there are no mosquitoes. Everyone calls to each other and jokes. They shout to Vanka:
- Van, so Van, you left?
Very pleased, Vanka is silent.
Down in the valley the wind died down. We spent a long time crossing streams and swamps and climbing up again. We walked along slopes, blind valleys, and through dark, dense bushes. Gusty winds flew - lukewarm from the watersheds, damp and cool from the valleys, sharply fresh from the mountain peaks. There was no talk of any path again, but the direction was right. The guys behind shouted:
- Van, ah Van, there is a highway, huh? Van, now are we going or not?
Vanka doesn’t answer, but walks confidently. In fact, there is more written on earth for him than for us.
It was an unusually warm evening, almost the only one of all time. And when we, tired, stopped for the night on the river bank among pine trees, rowan trees and birches, for the first time we did not want to put up tents. Like on a stage, we spread them on a high terrace above the river in several layers directly on dense and dry soil and lay on top. The fire went out, and a huge red moon emerged from behind a high ridge of jagged mountains. The moon stood for a long time and seemed motionless. She leisurely rinsed her magnificent rags in the river and, like a blanket, covered us with a thick red light.
Below me is the earth, above me is the sky... How good it is!
The more our life sprouts with cars, skyscrapers, synthetics and the chaos of sounds with which we ourselves fill the earth and space, the more we are drawn to silence, simple truths and primordial elements - to water and snow, to the wind, sky and uncovered earth ...
I woke up more than once. The moon also, having shifted slightly, hung like a red ball. And I fell asleep again, as if in the fairy-tale camp of the Shamakhan queen, feeling the uniqueness of this night.
Valleys of the Cunning Sorcerer
On the wide floodplain in the gathering twilight - stacks, stacks, stacks... like in the painting by Levitan, which hangs in the office of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov in his Yalta house above the fireplace - a gift from the artist. It's just a little brighter here. Deer with packs descend one after another into the valley. Vanka and I make a short detour - I want to look at the haystacks closer. We approach the stacks and wait for the others to catch up.
- Horses of hay! - Lesha is surprised. - I didn’t expect that. Where is it from?
“Incredible,” says Marchenko, examining the stacks.
I got off the deer, Vanka did not dismount - why linger around the hay?
- Van, have you ever seen haystacks here? Like these ones? - someone asks.
- No, I didn’t chill here, I didn’t hover. Altan is there,” he waves his hand to the north. It 'warm over there.
Yes, it’s surprising, but to the north, where there are many taliks and sandy banks on the Aldan River, there is rich vegetation, but here, to the south, in the mountains it is much colder.
We walked around one haystack. The haystacks are like haystacks - the dry hay is trimmed, combed on all sides, from the top to the ground. They patted the mop - something was swept rather densely. Even some kind of hardness is at hand. It probably froze at night; Although it is August, there are frosts at night. And suddenly in some depression in the haystack I see ice. What a surprise! Such a familiar, familiar mop, but it turned out to be the same witchcraft. This happens in a dream: you meet some sweet, pleasant grandmother, you talk to her, you talk and suddenly you see - from under a long, long skirt - a hoof. Or a tail. And immediately you understand everything...
So what is it - mop or ice? Ice in the pile? What kind of trick is this? And although it was getting dark, I had to quickly unload one deer and take out the pickle. We tried to move the “hay” but failed. It turned out that it was not hay, but dried grass with turf. Turf over ice? An ice stack under a thick blanket of earth? Yes, a blanket about forty centimeters. And on the stack at the top there are very nice blueberry bushes, as if it should be so. This means the stack has been standing for a long time. What does all of this mean?
Let's go to the next haystack. There is no ice on either side, everything is as it should be - hay.
