Old New Year 2019 - New Year according to the Julian calendar (old style). Comes on the night of January 13-14. In Russia, the tradition of celebrating the Old New Year arose after the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1918, as a result of which all dates shifted by 13 days.
The Gregorian calendar was first introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in Catholic countries on October 4, 1582. It is based on the cyclic revolution of the Earth around the Sun. The Gregorian calendar is used in most countries of the world.
Few people know about it, but the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars is getting bigger every century.
Now the difference is 13 days, but another 83 years will pass and from March 1, 2100 it will grow to 14 days. And if by that time people do not come up with another version of the chronology, then from 2101 Orthodox Christmas and the Old New Year will be celebrated a day later.
In addition to the countries that were part of the USSR, the Old New Year is celebrated by residents of: Algeria; Tunisia; Greece; Romania; Serbia; Montenegro; Switzerland; Morocco.
On the night of January 13-14, the Old New Year is celebrated - an additional holiday that arose as a result of a change in the chronology. New Year's Eve was called Generous Evening.
Under the Old New Year, it was customary for the whole family to sculpt dumplings with a surprise and guess for the next year. What will be in the dumpling with a surprise - that will be in the coming year.
In the New Year, it was customary to cook a lot of dishes: moreover, it was appreciated if they were varied and satisfying, because what more dishes on the table, the more generous the next year promised to be. At the head of the table, as in Christmas, were kutya (kutya) and uzvar.
The traditional New Year's table was rich in a variety of dough products: pancakes (which are a symbol of the sun and well-being), knyshs, kalachs and palanits (also symbols of well-being, because the better and rosier the pastry, the more happiness in the new year), dumplings with various fillings(meat, cottage cheese, poppy seeds).
Dumplings were served to the table with surprises: different unusual fillings were added inside each dumpling. If someone comes across flour - this is for torment, beans - for children, a button - for a new thing, sugar - for a good life, salt - for a difficult life, pepper - for surprises, a rope - for the road, a penny - for money. The main thing: do not forget to warn the guests that the dumplings are with surprises in order to avoid troubles like broken teeth. Read more about what are the list in our article.

Vareniki with potatoes - a step by step recipe with a photo
Homemade dumplings are incomparably better than store-bought semi-finished products: they are tastier, bigger, and prettier!
Ingredients for dumplings with potatoes:
- For the dough: 2 cups flour;
- 1 cup boiling water;
- ¼ tsp salt.
- For the filling: 4-5 medium potatoes;
- 1 onion;
- Sunflower oil;
- Salt pepper.
How to cook dumplings with potatoes:
Let's make the potato filling first.
If you have yesterday mashed potatoes- perfect! This means that the preparation of the filling is halved, and the puree will turn into a new dish, as is the case with potato slices.
If there is no mashed potatoes, then we clean and wash 5-6 potatoes, cut into pieces and boil until tender. Put the potatoes to boil
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion, pour into a frying pan with heated sunflower oil. Most delicious onion for stuffing and gravy for dumplings - not damp, but not stale to the state of coals, but ruddy golden. To make this happen, we don’t get distracted, but, stirring regularly, fry the onion over a fire a little more than average. Fry the onion
In the meantime, the potatoes have become soft. Drain the broth into a saucepan and turn the potatoes into mashed potatoes. Add a little potato broth so that the filling is not dry.
Add half of the fried onion to the potatoes, salt, pepper and mix. The filling is ready.
And while it cools, prepare the dough for dumplings.
Let's prepare the dough. I always make for dumplings, as well as for dumplings, choux pastry on a boil. It is very convenient and pleasant to work with it: soft, elastic, it is easy to roll and mold, and dumplings from it are tender and tasty.
Knead the dough in boiling water
After sifting the flour into a bowl and adding salt, pour a glass of boiling water into the flour and quickly knead with a spoon. When the dough becomes not hot, but warm, continue kneading with your hands.
If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little flour - but do not overdo it, otherwise it will turn out very steep and difficult to roll out.
Normally, the dough is soft, almost non-sticky to the hands. After kneading the dough well, put it in a bowl sprinkled with flour or greased with vegetable oil (so as not to stick), and cover with a towel on top, then the dough will not dry out. Let the dough rest
It's time to make dumplings. The filling is no longer hot, but slightly warm - it's time to sculpt dumplings. Sprinkle the table with flour, separate half from the dough and roll up the sausage. We cut it into pieces 1.5-2 cm wide. Roll each piece with a rolling pin into a circle.
Roll the dough into a sausage and cut.
Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. The exact amount depends on the size of your dumplings - the larger the circle, the more filling.
If you put a little, the dumplings will be "thin", and if you put too much, they may break. But you will quickly understand in practice how many potatoes you need to get a “plump” appetizing dumpling.
Now you need to close up the dumplings well so that the filling does not “run away” during the cooking process. And you should close up quickly, until the edges of the dough dry out in the air - that's when it's time to call the household to participate in preparing a family dinner! I close up the dumplings twice: the first time is a “draft”, we just blind the edges of the circle together, and the second - with a “pigtail”, so that it turns out not only firmly, but also beautifully.
Lay the dumplings on a board sprinkled with flour. If you want to freeze - cover with cling film and place in the freezer, and if you are going to eat - put a pot of salted water on the fire (about 1 tablespoon per 1.5-2 liters of water). When the water boils, dip the dumplings into it - enough so that they swim freely and do not stick together.
Cook over medium heat until they float, and another 1-2 minutes, because the filling is already ready and the dumplings do not need to be cooked for a long time, like dumplings with raw minced meat(and while the first batch is cooking, we sculpt the second). We do not allow a strong boil, otherwise they may boil soft.
We catch the finished dumplings with a slotted spoon into a plate and season with fried onions - remember, we have half left after preparing the filling. For beauty, you can sprinkle with chopped herbs. Serve immediately, warm!
And the next day you can fry cold dumplings, it turns out delicious. But, of course, freshly brewed is much tastier. Therefore, I advise you to stick dumplings with potatoes for the future and cook them in portions, as needed.
Vareniki with potatoes are ready.

Traditions and customs of celebrating the Old New Year in Russia
The Old New Year was famous for its rich table. Indispensable attributes of this holiday in Russia were: a roasted pig; generous kutya, emphasizing the end of the post; dumplings with surprises; pancakes and pies, with which they also thanked those who came to carol.
Sculpting dumplings was accepted by the whole family. As in Romania, various surprises were hidden in them. This symbolized fortune-telling about what awaits in the coming year. Carols were a very bright decoration of the holiday.
And they went caroling only until midnight, until the evil spirits roamed. On January 13, young girls and guys hid behind masks, and one of the guys was dressed up in women's clothes as a symbol of Melanka. 
Traditions of the Old New Year
Kutya for the New Year's feast began to cook in the morning. If there were unpleasant signs, it had to be thrown directly into the hole with the pot. An interesting tradition of this night was the burning of "Didukh" (grandfather).
To do this: they prepared a sheaf of straw in advance, on the Old New Year, after the end of the carols, they went to the crossroads, set fire to the sheaf when the main flame decreased, began to jump over the fire, saying goodbye to evil spirits. All this was accompanied by songs, dances, ditties and other games.
There is another beautiful tradition associated with this holiday. In the morning, with the wishes of happiness, health and wealth, they went to the houses of relatives and friends to “sow” grain. It is not known where the custom came from, but it has its own rules: only males are sown, because it was believed that girls cannot bring happiness, the houses of godparents were the first to be visited, the grains were carefully collected and stored until spring to be mixed with sowing .
A special porridge was also cooked. The groats for her were poured by the oldest woman in the family. Water from the well was supposed to be brought by the oldest man in the house. Groats from the barn were taken out at two in the morning. It was impossible to touch her, so as not to change her future.
Until the oven was heated, the ingredients were ignored. Then, when the porridge was cooked, all family members sat around. The woman stirred it, saying special words. Then they put the porridge in the oven and waited for the result: if the porridge came out of the pot, it promised trouble for the whole house, so no one ate it; when bursting the pot, they did the same, because it was a disease, a lot of foam on top foreshadowed empty chores, rich delicious porridge meant harvest and happiness to all household members.
The whole family sat down at the table late in the evening, and this dinner was not to be missed. At this time, Christmas time continued, so Christmas fortune-telling was also used. It was customary to guess at the betrothed, on the threads for a quick wedding, the fulfillment of a wish, the appearance of a child, etc.
Traditions could differ depending on the place of residence, as well as the veneration of saints. Some villages had their own saints who received additional attention.
Signs for the Old New Year
On this holiday, they were attentive to the signs, among which the following stood out: the first on January 14 a girl entered the house - to trouble, frost on the trees meant a good year, it was forbidden to count small money so as not to shed tears all year.
Nor did they lend or borrow; if there was a blizzard or snowstorm at night, it was believed that the year would be restless; to hear an unusual ringing in the morning was the news of a possible replenishment. Be sure to cajole livestock so that the New Year is calm and prolific.
It will soon be 100 years since the Soviet state switched to the Gregorian calendar, and the New Year began to come to our homes 13 days earlier. But, despite this, many continue to celebrate it twice.
Some Orthodox observe church rites and traditions, and New Year's Eve is one of them. On the eve of the holiday, on the thirteenth of January, the day is dedicated to St. Melania, and the hostesses prepare a hearty and varied dinner, which is called generous.
If you want to set your festive table this evening according to ancient traditions, prepare a generous kutya, since all the products necessary for this are available today on free sale. all year round And yes, it's not hard to prepare. Considered to be more diverse composition kutya, the more prosperity will be in the family next year. So try and make it really generous and rich.
In previous years, kutya was cooked from buckwheat, wheat, barley, but ordinary rice will also be quite suitable. By the way, all the products of this dish have a symbolic meaning. Grain symbolizes new life, honey - well-being and health, and poppy - prosperity in the house.
- 1 cup rice
- 100 g honey
- 100 g nuts
- 100 g raisins
- 150 g poppy
- butter to taste
- salt to taste
Prepare fluffy rice in the usual way. Nuts, if required, roast, peel and chop. You can use any, according to your taste.
Rinse raisins and steam with boiling water. Poppy also steam with boiling water, let stand so that it swells. Drain the water and grind in a mortar or coffee grinder. Get poppy milk.
Butter melt and fill them with porridge. Send nuts, raisins, poppy milk and liquid honey there. If the honey is thick, it can be slightly diluted with water or cream. Mix everything and let stand kutya. The taste of this sweet porridge can be varied with homemade jam, vanilla, candied fruit, and so on.
It is also customary to put a variety of pies on the table, fried sausages, pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheeses and, of course, pork - a symbol of fertility and wealth.
If a whole suckling pig is too expensive, and there is no time to cook it that day, you can opt for any pork dish. For example, it will be enough to prepare meat for chops in advance, and in the evening just fry them in a pan. Combined with fresh vegetables you get a hearty and tasty dish.
Do not forget that earlier on this day, young people and children went caroling, and it was impossible not to treat carolers, since luck and prosperity could turn away from the owners of an inhospitable house. To carol on this day, as well as the rest of the days of Christmas time, hardly anyone will come to you. But in their place may be uninvited neighbors or acquaintances. And this, perhaps, is the same in our time, because they will certainly congratulate you on the Old New Year and wish you good luck. So prepare with a margin!
According to the old belief old year you spend and meet a new one, this will be the whole coming year, so meet it not only satisfying, but also fun. Stick dumplings with a variety of surprise fillings in advance, and boil them not long before the meal. Have a hearty and fun dinner! Do not forget to just warn all participants in the feast about such unusual fillings and sterilize them. According to the filling, they guess what awaits someone next year:
- coin - material well-being,
- Bay leaf- career advancement,
- dried apricots - joy,
- ring - wedding,
- caramel - love,
- cabbage - money,
- grain - wealth,
- cherry - good luck.
Each guest must make himself dumplings from common dish. Only under this condition is the meaning of divination preserved. I'll tell you a secret, I put only toppings that portend all the good things. And I tell the guests that the bad ones were not eaten. Of course, in addition to surprise fillings, ordinary fillings will also come in handy - with cottage cheese, potatoes and fried onions, potatoes and mushrooms, cheese.
And this New Year, you can cook everything that you didn’t have enough time for two weeks ago, which didn’t work out because of the novelty of the recipe, which you forgot about or, on the contrary, remembered. This is another opportunity to demonstrate your culinary talent to your household and guests and have a wonderful time in good company.

After the celebration of the new year, there is a holiday that is no less beloved by us - the Old New Year. And every hostess wants to surprise her guests, but repeat with New Year's table not desirable. So they think what to cook for the Old New Year 2019 quickly and tasty.
In order not to anger the symbol of this year - the Red Rooster, we will not serve chicken on this table either. Our ancestors signature dish of this festival - a baked suckling pig. However, it is not easy to do it, and the search for such a little animal during new year holidays thing is useless. We will try to make something not complicated, but at the same time very tasty.
"Rabbit in Wine"
Us you will need:
- carcass of a young rabbit;
- two glasses of dry white wine;
- half a glass of strong meat broth;
- a couple of tablespoons of fat sour cream;
- spices for meat;
- two large carrots;
- large white onion;
- salt to taste.
Cooking:
Washed and dried rabbit carcass, cut portioned pieces. We clean the onions and carrots. We chop the onion in half rings, and the carrots in small squares. Put half of the vegetables on the bottom of the duckling, now lay out our meat, and sprinkle with a layer of the remaining onions and carrots. Stir sour cream in the broth and pour it over the main ingredients. Pour wine with spices there. Close the lid and simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours. 10 minutes before the end of the whole process, the meat needs to be salted. Before serving, you can sprinkle generously with herbs, but avoid dill.
"Pork Chops"
Us you will need:
- pork pulp - 300 grams;
- half a glass of milk;
- flour - 100 grams;
- egg - 1 pc.;
- vegetable oil for frying;
- spices and salt to taste.
Cooking:
Wash the meat, dry it and freeze it slightly in the freezer, so it will be easier for you to cut it into thin pieces that need to be beaten off well from all sides. Without fanaticism, otherwise you can make holes in the meat. Lightly sprinkle the beaten fillet with salt and spices. While it is soaking, make a batter. To do this, egg with salt, place until smooth, add a little milk and flour. Get a thick dough, like pancakes. It will need to be carefully diluted with milk until smooth. Heat up a heavy bottomed pan and heat the oil in it. Dip the pieces of meat in the batter and immediately into the pan. Reduce the heat and bake until a nice even golden color.
"Fragrant Hake"
Us you will need:
- a couple of carcasses of gutted hake;
- butter - 200 grams;
- a bunch of dill, parsley and green onions;
- spices for fish;
- salt to taste;
- foil.
Cooking:
Washed and dried fish, grease well with salt and spices. From the foil make squares on which we will bake the hake. It must be laid out clearly in the center. Divide the finely chopped greens into two equal parts and fill each carcass abundantly. Butter mode in small cubes and also divided into two parts and put on top of each fish. We wrap the hake in foil, while trying to do it so that a boat forms at the bottom. If necessary, wrap in an additional layer of foil.
Bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 170 degrees. Serve the finished dish directly in these boats so that the wonderful sauce does not spill out. Hake will be surprisingly tender, juicy and fragrant, as it will be saturated with oil and herbs. Garnish The first thing we always do is mashed potatoes. Let's move away from this tradition and serve it not in pure form, but a new and rather interesting solution that will not leave anyone indifferent. And, of course, let's not forget about rice, which is also unusual.
"French Puree"
Us you will need:
- potato;
- butter;
- spices;
- a couple of chicken eggs;
- flour;
- cracker crumb;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Cooking:
We make the usual mashed potatoes, but without the addition of third-party liquid. In other words, after boiling the potatoes, drain all the water, add oil, spices, salt and eggs and mix thoroughly to get a thick homogeneous mass. Sprinkle the table with flour and put our potato dough. Let the oil heat up in a high-sided pan.
We return to the test. It must be collected in one lump (this is not easy) and distributed on a carefully and abundantly floured table. To roll it into a 3 mm layer, use a film that you place on top of the dough. Now you need a mold for cutting figures. Perfect for cookie cutters. Cut out, roll in breadcrumbs and send to hot oil. When they become rosy, take out with a slotted spoon on a paper towel to stack excess fat. They are delicious both warm and cold.
"Rice with vegetables"
Us you will need:
- a glass of long steamed rice;
- half a pack of Mexican mixed frozen vegetables;
- a couple of large bulbs;
- vegetable oil for frying;
- two glasses of meat broth;
- salt and spices to taste.
Cooking:
R Wash thoroughly and soak in cold water for an hour. Finely chop the onion and place in a frying pan with hot oil, fry until golden brown. Now he sends our rice there, fill it with broth, and simmer covered with a lid for 15 minutes. After pour the frozen vegetables, salt and sprinkle with spices. Close the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes. If necessary, add water. It is recommended to serve warm.
Over the previous holidays, our body has not yet had time to move away from culinary excesses, so it would be better if you prepare simple but light salads.
Finely chop the cabbage, mash it with salt and lemon juice. Add finely chopped cucumber and herbs. Mix and fill olive oil. Vary the amount of ingredients yourself, depending on your taste.
"Tomato Salad"
Cut the tomatoes into medium-sized slices, add the garlic, passed through the garlic press. Salt, mix and add low-fat sour cream. If desired, you can not only decorate with greenery, but also add it inside.
Such simple and quick recipes will make your festive table varied and satisfying, but the food served will not be heavy. Now you do not need to puzzle over what to cook for the Old New Year 2019.
A lovely holiday that can be “completed” in January is the New Year with the prefix “old”. MedAboutMe knows what to cook for the old New Year.
"Echo" of the New Year
The December fuss died down, ending with the traditional volleys of champagne and fireworks, the absorption of no less traditional “Olivier” and “fur coats”, the search for gifts under home Christmas trees and congratulations.
The Christmas fast is over, so for the "old" New Year, the treats on the table are more generous and varied.
The time of the old New Year is coming - a wonderful holiday, when for elegant table Relatives, friends can gather and heartily "see" the New Year. The "echo" of the New Year becomes almost an independent holiday - bright, generous, prolonging the New Year's fun, when the New Year's chimes are already over, but we again repeat the holiday with the prefix "old" with pleasure, but with new wishes of happiness and good luck.
Russians are not alone in wanting to prolong the charm of the holiday. The "disagreements" between the two calendars "Julian" and "Gregorian" make it possible to lay a festive table on the night of January 13-14 in those countries where Christmas is traditionally celebrated on January 7. The traditions of serving and decorating the festive table are unchanged:
- colorful;
- solemnly;
- laconically;
- practical;
- naturally.
Four colors set the tone for the whole holiday: golden, rich red, deep green and festive white.
When decorating a ceremonial table, one is taken as the basis, and the others are used evenly as bright accents:
- green - for bouquets and wreaths of needles;
- red - for the central composition of flowers and candles;
- gold - for branches, cones or dishes;
- white - for the main "canvas" on which you "draw" the holiday.
A combination of white and red is considered a classic in the design of the festive decoration of the table.
Just do not forget about the sense of proportion: the festive table must be elegant, but it is not a New Year tree.
A hearty feast is unthinkable without a generous kutya. Welded with various additives wheat, is called differently: sochivo, kanun, sat, kolivo. There are also many varieties and methods of cooking kutya, but its types for different holidays are different:
- rich, that is, lenten kutya is prepared on Christmas Eve;
- generous, that is, modest before the New Year with cream, milk and butter;
- hungry, i.e. "vegan", in modern terms, or "Epiphany", including grain and sweetener.
Usually kutya was made from cereals, but a modern departure from tradition is rice kutya. Almonds, cloves, cinnamon, powdered sugar are added to it.
Kutya can be seasoned with honey or uzvar. As tasty supplement- dried fruits, poppy seeds, raisins, nuts. A modern exotic addition to kutya is pineapples.
The more ingredients in kutya, the better for the family in the coming year, especially since all the products included in this dish have a symbolic meaning:
- grain - new life;
- honey - health;
- poppy - well-being.
We suggest trying to cook kutya in a modern way!
Wheat with marmalade
What ingredients are required:
- one glass of cereals (wheat or pearl barley);
- raisin;
- 100 grams of honey and marmalade;
- nuts;
- uzvar (cooked from dried fruits, the more varied the set, the better for the taste of the uzvar).
How to cook:
Kutya is cooked from cereals. Raisins are added during the cooking process.
Honey is dissolved in a bowl, mixed with chopped nuts. Boiled cereals are seasoned with honey and marmalade. Decoration - the remaining marmalade, nuts.
Each housewife has her own cooking secrets, but there is one rule for everyone: the more generously flavored kutya, the more prosperous and happier the coming year for the family.
Each hostess, in an effort to please the symbol of the year, selects creative ideas for decorating the table and tries to surprise with culinary masterpieces.
Perhaps you managed to try everything that was prepared for the New Year, but the festive dishes for the old New Year are always more generous, more varied, more abundant.
The main task for the hostess is to ensure that everyone gathered at the table on the "Old New Year's" evening is satisfied and well-fed, and for this you need to remember the old tradition: for gala dinner obligatory dishes are prepared, which include vegetables, meat, fish, cereals, fruits, pastries. Prepare something that you didn’t have enough time for on December 31, something that you forgot or, on the contrary, you want to master new recipe and demonstrate your culinary talent to your family and guests.
There is a belief that on the night before the old New Year there should be an even number of "eaters" at the table. If there are an odd number of people at the table, leave an extra plate.
A traditional table decoration is a tablecloth. In the center they have the main dish - kutya. It is customary to start a feast with her. Next to the kutya is a knot. Perfect option complement the table decoration with lit candles. They symbolize the memory of the ancestors.
It is customary to put all cooked dishes on the table at once, so that they are at hand from the hostess. You can’t get up from the table that evening when the guests have started the meal.
Snacks
The role of snacks in the old days was performed by homemade sausages, bacon, smoked meats. Now these dishes are present on the festive table as independent dishes, and housewives have long learned to "dilute" the feast with simple easy cooking snacks.
Here is the recipe for New Year's canapes
- "Cucumber"
What is needed: fresh cucumbers, greens, cream cheese(can be replaced fat cottage cheese), pomegranate seeds.
How to cook: wash cucumbers and cut into slices (you determine the thickness yourself); spread cucumber slices with cheese and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds on top, decorating with herbs.
- "Nut"
Required: crackers, cream cheese, raspberry jam, nuts (optional).
Preparation: Spread crackers with cream cheese, top with a layer of raspberry jam, sprinkle everything with chopped nuts.
The abundance of recipes and the culinary skills of the hostesses have reached unprecedented heights in modern cooking. Salads in without fail decorate any festive table, and even on the old New Year, their quantity and quality depend, perhaps, on the ingenuity of the hostess and the spaciousness of the table. For example, without fish salads not a single feast is spared.
We recommend trying a light salad with fish. For cooking you will need: boiled white fish, cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, boiled potatoes, parsley, lettuce, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mayonnaise.
Assembling the salad:
- put on lettuce leaves fish fillet, cut into pieces and sprinkled with lemon juice;
- top with boiled and sliced potatoes;
- mix separately chopped cucumbers, cherry quarters and parsley with pepper, salt, mayonnaise and put on top of potatoes;
- garnish with olives or olives.
vegetable dishes
Vegetables must be on the table. If you do not have the opportunity to decorate the feast with fresh ones, then homemade pickles and marinades will be no worse.
What you need: onions, cabbage, carrots, eggplants, apples, Bell pepper, spicy tomato sauce, spices, salt, sugar.
How to cook: the recipe is simple - finely chop all the vegetables. Separately, fry the onion until golden brown. Add chopped cabbage, carrots to the onion and simmer for about half an hour. Then add apples, eggplants, sweet peppers and stew everything for 5-10 minutes, seasoning with spices, tomato sauce and granulated sugar. Bring to readiness for another 5 minutes.
For dieters: add to vegetables green pea and potatoes - get a great vegetable dish on its own.
