А, знаете ли Вы, что добрый рождест

А, знаете ли Вы, что добрый рождественский дедушка Мороз, который живёт в Лапландии, на самом деле злобный персонаж в мифологии и зовут его - Йоулупукки или "рождественский козёл".
Это сейчас он превратился в добродушного, розовощекого старичка в красной шубе, а в XIX столетии его изображали злобным существом в козлиной шкуре с рогами, которое приходило в дом для того, чтобы напугать детей.
Это имя пришло из Средневековья, когда отмечался Йоль - праздник зимнего солнцеворота и во время празднования Йольский козёл ходил по домам и проверял, всё ли готово к празднованию: чисто ли в доме, приготовлены ли необходимые кушанья, есть ли у хозяев дома новая одежда. Чтобы задобрить Йольского козла, хозяйки оставляли ему специальное угощение
Непослушных он живьём варил в котле, а благородных оленей просто употреблял в пищу. Постепенно с приходом христианства этот языческий демон в фольклоре постепенно подобрел, стал гуманнее и превратился в того добродушного старикана, которого мы все знаем.
А, как же Снегурочка спросите Вы? Под стать древнему Дедушке Морозу была и его жена Муори, живое воплощение тьмы и холода. При ее приближении затухал огонь и замерзала вода. От ее имени произошло слово Смерть (muerte, morte, mort).

Она открывает двери маленьким золотым ключиком и, войдя в комнату, где спят дети, наполняет подарками детские чулки, специально подвешенные к камину. Тому, кто плохо учился или шалил, Бефана оставляет щепотку золы или уголек.
