Добрий вечір, Щедрий вечір, Святий вечір

Святий вечір припадає на останній день Пилипівського посту. Тому на вечерю готують лише пісні страви. На честь апостолів або числа місяців у році страв готували лише дванадцять. У кожному місті чи селі вони різні, проте обовязково є калач, кутя і узвар. Вечеряти сідали, коли на небі сходила перша зірка – символ народження Сина Божого. Коли родина сідала за стіл, на ньому вже стояли кутя, узвар, дідух, хліб і пироги. Починали вечерю із запалення свічки й молитви. Господиня вносила борщ із квасолею та грибами. За борщем подавали голубці з пшоняною або гречаною кашею, вареники з капустою, картоплею, квасолею, смажену і «холодну» рибу. Готували налисники з пісними начинками: маком і медом, сушеними товченими грушами. Подавали квашену капусту з олією та цибулею. Запивали страви узваром.

The Lost Gold Piece

Once a rich merchant arranged dinner for poor ex-soldiers. Mr. Lebeau was among the guests. After dinner Grandin, the host, showed his quests a large gold coin. Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the long table. However, talking and drinking the men soon forgot all about the coin. Later on the quests were about to leave the house. Grandin thought of the coin and asked for it. But the coin was gone. The village lawyer being one of the guests suggested that everybody should be searched. All at once agreed except Lebeau. His friends looked at him with surprise. “I cannot allow it”, he said. “I did not steal the coin. I will not allow anybody to search me,” he repeated. One by one the rest turned out their pockets except Lebeau though his friends were persuading him to. It seemed suspicious to everybody. From that day on nobody respected Lebeau.

A few years passed. When this episode had become almost legendary, Grandin decided to rebuild his house. A workman found the gold coin between two planks of the floor of the room in which the dinner had taken place. Grandin hurried to Lebeau’s poor home and told him that he had found the coin and apologized for having suspected him. “But why did you not allow us to search you if you hadn’t taken the coin?” he asked.

Lebeau answered: “Because I was a thief all the same. For a week my family and I had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of food that I had taken from the table to carry home for my wife and hungry children.”
