Drowsy Hens
Foretell Future
Divinations were an important
part of the Christmas festivities in
Czarist Russia.
After a special family Christ
mas dinner, the girls of the
household placed five piles of
grain upon the kitchen floor:
each pile was given a name, such j
as Hope, Ring, Money, Thread i and Charcoal. A drowsy hen was I
fetched from the henhouse and i
allowed to walk around the kitch-;
en floor and choose a pile of
grain. ' , |
Obviously the hen’s choice of
Money meant wealth;' Ring, fore
told a wedding within a year;
and Hope, promised the fulfill
ment of.a wish or a long journey.
If the sleepy chicken cho$e the
grain designated as Thread, a
life-of toil'was predicted for the
marriageable maiden of the
household; and Charcoal was
considered an omen Of death in
.the family.
Old songs were sung to accom
pany such goings-on, while the
girls and women vied to devise ;
complete stories based on the an- _.tics of the hen. PHONE JOT
