Old-New Year’s Eve (shchadrets – шчадрэц), Tsjerablichy, January 13, 2017.
Shchadrets is a pre-Christian rite absorbed into the Christian tradition in Belarus. In villages of the central Pripet area groups of carolers carry a star-shaped pinwheel from house to house, and sing to bring good fortune; the family in each house offers food or money.
