Koledari

Koliadari are Slavic traditional performers of a ceremony called celebration of Koliada, a kind of Christmas caroling. It is associated with Koliada (Calends), a celebration incorporated later into Christmas.

This type of caroling is called "kolędowanie" in Poland, "коледуване" (koleduvane) in Bulgaria, "colindat" in Romania, "колядування" (koliaduvannia) in Ukraine, and "коледарење" (koledarenje) or "коледе" (kolede) in North Macedonia.

In Ukraine caroling may also take place along with a staged play called Vertep.
