THE BIG RELATIVES.
   Celebrate from the bottom of the heart - in these svjatochnye days on all national
Traditions should have fun, arrange noisy feasts, family
Sit-round gathering.
   Isstari this time for a meeting with relatives, not only closest,
But also with with whom we are connected by difficult threads of family relations.
   In Russia at all times honoured vital bonds, valued relationship.
   Than further in depth of centuries, especially seriously, in details concerned
People to the relatives. From here also take the sources great family trees and
Family dynasties of Russia. And still very few people remembers today that in
XI-XIII Centuries terminology of related communications was much more difficult,
zaputannej, than now. Therefore artists also had to draw in detail
Huge family trees where from generation to generation nested on
Branchy branches "krovniki" - native and "prisoners" - relatives family
Dynasties.
   Alas, very few people can walk now thoughts on fragile pautinke
The ancient relationship. And ancient Russian names of relatives it is not enough
That will tell to the modern person. For example, the uncle on the father was called
"stryj", and the uncle on mother - "uj". The son of the brother was called "bratanich" or
"synovets". Well and the son of sister - "sestrichich". The wife of the native brother - "jatrov".
Native children named "fractional", receptions - "orphans"...
   Position in a sort accurately defined the rights and duties under the relation
To other members of a family and to a society. And at Old Russian princes Rjurikovichej
Patrimonial terms and at all designated a place in feudal hierarchy. One prince
Quite could tell to another approximately so: "You to me the brother, you to me stryj,
You to me the father ". It meant the following:" You of a princely sort, as well as I,
You have to me of the uncle on the father, means, you are more senior me, and I recognise the
Dependence... ".
   The twentieth century has considerably simplified relations between relatives,
Having put even relationship vital bonds almost on an extinction side. And it that
Is more sad, that we at times do not know also the nearest relatives, on what
Always the patrimonial bonds of Russians shined not only personal kept
Holidays, but also collective celebrations. The main things from them were New
Year, Christmas, Christmas-tide, Pancake week, Palm Sunday, Trinity and holidays
Crop when all relatives from are small to it is great it was endowed with gifts. And blood
Here relationship bonds, however state oozes saw not so so much even,
The attention rendered by the family each other. To deprive someone from
Relatives such attention isstari was considered as top of an ingratitude and
Ignorances.
   The father is necessary the wife of the son the father-in-law, mother - the mother-in-law. In turn
The wife of the son it - the daughter - in-law. Relations in bonds of such relationship frequently happen
Rather strained. It is enough to look back on the richest folklore: "Remembers
The mother-in-law the youth and the daughter - in-law does not believe ".
   The husband's brother is called the brother-in-law. It is quite possible to get on with it: "Mine
deverek-bratok - not to yours derevishchu a couple ". Happens more difficult to find the general
Language with sister of the husband - the sister-in-law: "Zolovushkiny speeches, that on lash shoulders".
   The husband is necessary relatives of the wife the son-in-law. In the house of the wife it accept
Sometimes with a reluctance: "Zjatek - the stranger rotok" or it is at all categorical: "There is no line
In the house - accept the son-in-law ". Why so? The answer is simple:" Is not present in whey of sour cream,
As in the son-in-law of a tribe ".
   It is time to pass and to relatives of the wife. Her parents to the husband - the father-in-law and the mother-in-law.
The discontent here the friend the friend happens mutual. For example: "the Father-in-law for the son-in-law
Gave rouble, and after two that have reduced from a court yard! "And the son-in-law in a debt not
Remained, in a pocket behind a word did not climb: "That to me the father-in-law, if there is nothing to eat.
I will go to a city to the maiden to sup ushitsy!. "About the mother-in-law and at all to speak not
It is necessary: "At the mother-in-law pockets are lean" or even more abruptly: "Was at the mother-in-law, yes it is glad
Having flowed away!. ".
   Warmer relations usually develop with the brother-in-law - the brother
Wives. In another's affairs it does not climb, its hut as though with family edge: "the Son-in-law likes
To take, the father-in-law likes honour, and the brother-in-law of an eye shchurit ".
   Wife's sister was considered as the sister - in-law, and husbands of two sestr - brothers-in-law.
   Native the husband to relatives of the wife have svojstvennikami, matchmakers,
svatjami, the godmother yes godfathers, and on the contrary.
   What there it was spoken with love, pleasure, irony or a dirty trick
About relationship, related bonds in the people always tried to value. And as if
Underlining the world yes the harmony in relationship bonds, is ordered by popular wisdom:
"With the mother-in-law honey sup, with the son-in-law have put sugar, friendship drive with the matchmaker".
