In this article we address the theme of the Christmas carols of a Ukrainian community from Sfantu Gheorghe on the Danube Delta. The question that we posed concerned the relationship between the old Ukrainian songs (Old archaic Ukrainian Christmas carols) and the Romanian carols that are sang on Christmas day in Sfantu Gheorghe. In this paper we focus mainly on two Christmas carols from Sfantu Gheorghe (a traditional Ukrainian Christmas carol and a Romanian one), showing how they coexist in a pacific manner and represent traditions of antique origin connected to the ritual of carolling transmitted from generation to generation, directly linked to their representation of the Ukrainian identity.

Abstract

In this article we address the theme of the Christmas carols of a Ukrainian community from Sfantu Gheorghe on the Danube Delta. The question that we posed concerned the relationship between the old Ukrainian songs (Old archaic Ukrainian Christmas carols) and the Romanian carols that are sang on Christmas day in Sfantu Gheorghe. In this paper we focus mainly on two Christmas carols from Sfantu Gheorghe (a traditional Ukrainian Christmas carol and a Romanian one), showing how they coexist in a pacific manner and represent traditions of antique origin connected to the ritual of carolling transmitted from generation to generation, directly linked to their representation of the Ukrainian identity.
