Talk:Koliada (deity)

Pseudo-deity
Koliada seems to be a pseudo-deity created on the basis of a name of holiday Koliada. Koliada was a holiday associated with Winter soltice. That Koliada mentioned in the songs is nothing more than just a holiday personification (like Kupala, Kostroma, Maslenitsa), but it can also refer to a song itself, the celebration, and to the food/money given for koledari. But the term "deity" cannot be applied to this. 46.113.4.1 (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
