Description
The Slavs believed that the rooster was a prophetic bird. It is related to the sun, is a symbol of the dawn, a messenger of the sunrise of the luminary. The rooster is Perun's bird; when he hears his cry, the evil spirit disappears. For the fact that he wakes up the world, he was called budimir. The rooster was sacrificed to the gods. The color of the rooster played its role. Black roosters were sacrificed. As an echo of an ancient ritual-burying black roosters under the threshold of the bathhouse to appease the bannik. A white rooster was given to the bride and groom so that there would be a lot of children. At the wedding, along with the loaf, the meat of a baked rooster was distributed, which was called bazhant, which is probably a reminder of the sacrifice of ancient times. The red rooster, according to beliefs, protects the farmstead: cattle from witches, children from being replaced by goddesses. Red is the color of wealth, well-being. There are legends that the red rooster can show the place where the treasure is located. But if a wicked person takes the treasure, it will burst into fire. Hence, the "red rooster" is a symbol of fire.
According to popular beliefs, if you do not have a rooster in the estate, an unclean one will be started. The rooster is a participant in Christmas divination. The girls put the grains in pairs and let the cock fly. If he does not bite, the girl will not get married for a year, and if she leaves one grain, she will be without a pair for the whole century. A mandatory dish at evening parties is a fried rooster-an echo of ancient traditions.
