AMONG UKRAINIANS THE RITUAL OPENING OF THE CHRISTMAS EVE MEAL
IS THE BRINGING IN OF A SHEAF OF WHEAT CALLED "DIDUKH"
(GRANDFATHER), A SYMBOL OF THE GATHERING OF THE CLAN; THIS
IS DONE BY THE MASTER OF THE HOUSEHOLD. (IN THE CITIES
THIS TRADITION HAS BEEN MODIFIED AND THE SHEAF IS REPLACED
WITH A FEW STALKS OF WHEAT IN A VASE.) THE SHEAF IS
PLACED IN THE CORNER OF THE DINING ROOM AND
REMAINS THERE UNTIL NEW YEAR WHEN IT IS TAKEN OUT AND BURNED.

ON THEIR SHOULDERS FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE. AT EACH HOUSE, THE MEN WOULD
