P. I. Tchaikovsky - Four Seasons
12. December Svyatki
Performed by Ma. Gr. Ig. Al
The name Svyatki comes from the word svyatoy (“holy”), but ironically this was the most unholy and pagan time of the year.
“God, rejoiced after his son was born, opened all the doors and let the devils out to play,” the folk legend goes. Georgy Manaev (Russia Beyond 2017)
