Reb.1-Salaam Alaikum! Moarshal du suga, tha hyamhasa vezhary, yizhary, kheshhy.

Reb. 2- Nokhchalla - it is difficult to translate.

"Nokhcho" means "Chechen". The concept of "nokhchalla" is all the features of the Chechen character in one word. This includes the whole range of Chechen life norms, this is a kind of code of honor.

Nokhchalla is the ability to build your relationships with people. This is the rejection of any coercion, the Chechen from his boyish years was brought up as a defender, a warrior.

Nokhchalla is friendship. Friendship for a highlander is a sacred concept.

Verse by Abuzar Aidamirov " Native language»

The songs my mother used to sing to me

Taught courage and honor.

I started to learn from songs

Native language -

Chechen language.

Like an echo of the gloomy old days,

Having experienced no fear in life,

Those songs were folded

Military grandfathers of the Vainakhs.

My mother used to sing songs to me when I was a child

About mountain valor and honor.

I started to learn from songs

Mother tongue - Chechen language.

“The unity of the people is an indestructible fortress,” says Chechen wisdom.

So let's consider these words spoken by our wise ancestors as a life mandate.

Strengthen the centuries-old friendship in our common house, which is called "Caucasus".

Greetings from the Kabardians.

Boy: Salam - alaikum.

Girl: Dow shit.

Poem Tamara Dadasheva "Nalchik"

I saw fields and mountains

I went around the white light

You feed us with living moisture,

You bring us the fragrance of roses.

The coat of arms of Georgia is St. George slaying a dragon and 2 lions holding a crown. The words on the white ribbon translate as "Strength in Unity". 3. The capital of Georgia, the city of Tbilisi, means "warm spring". The meaning of some Georgian words, undoubtedly, will bring a smile to each of our compatriots. In Georgian, the word "mama" means "deda", "dad" - "mother", "grandmother" - "bebua", and grandfather - "babua". It's funny, isn't it? Especially when you imagine a small child calling loudly for his "mother". 4. Monasteries, cathedrals, fortresses, temples, churches are not full list what you can see when you come to this country.

eleven . SATSIVI SULUGUNI KHARCHO khachapuri khinkali This is an incomplete list of traditional Georgian dishes, the names of which have long entered our lives. The traditional and well-known Georgian dish “chicken tabaka” is absolutely not related to tobacco. It's just a mispronounced name.

Georgian national costume National clothes in Georgia were very original. The severity of the male attire, and the elegance and grace of the female attire 13. Appreciate the beauty Georgian dance.

New Year

New Year opens the series of holidays. The world-famous holiday has found its own in Georgia national traits and great traditions. Well, for example, such a main New Year's attribute as a Christmas tree.

In Georgia, in addition to the green coniferous beauty, each family decorates chichilaki.

Before the holiday on the streets begin to trade wooden sticks, entwined with snow-white shavings. These sticks are called "chichilaki". This is the so-called beard of St. Basil, the patron saint of animals. The sticks are made from a log chopped into thin shavings, as if a gray beard. They are decorated with dried fruits. And then, after new year holidays, burn. It is believed that everything bad that happened in the past year goes away with the ashes.

The New Year's table in Georgia should not only be beautifully and plentifully laid, but literally bursting with all kinds of dishes. Here you can find satsivi, juicy boiled pork, spicy marinades, melt-in-your-mouth khachapuri, several types of homemade cheese, and sweet churchkhella.

There are dishes in Georgia that no New Year's table can do without. This is a roasted pig, symbolically promising well-being, honey gozinaki (roasted nuts), so that life is as sweet as honey. In general, the more sweet New Year's table- the sweeter the year will be.

At the head of the table, of course, is wonderful wine, which on this night simply flows like a river to the clink of glasses and eloquent toasts. And of course, what a feast without songs and dances. Georgian polyphony is the most culminating moment of the holiday. And it is not known yet who gets more pleasure from this: the listeners or the performers themselves, each selflessly deducing their own vocal part.

Exactly at midnight, multi-colored fireworks and salutes flash in the sky. Someone will say that this custom is quite modern, but Georgians have it ancient origin. It was believed that with every shot the shooter hits an evil spirit, and in the New Year, good will defeat evil.

There is another interesting New Year's custom. It is called "Mekvle" and is still popular in Georgian villages. "Mekvle" is the person who first crosses the threshold of the house in the new year. It can bring both happiness and unhappiness. The villagers already know about people with a “happy leg” and invite them to the house in advance, and they give the owners a basket of wine, sweets and boiled pork, wishing them happiness in the new year.

Easter, Christmas

These two biggest Christian holidays have been celebrated in Georgia since ancient times. Their offensive is always awaited with great desire and trepidation. Each believer associates them with new hopes and events. On Easter in Georgia, as in Russia, they bake Easter cakes, paint eggs, and bless them in the church. But Christmas in Georgia is celebrated with some peculiarities. On the eve of the night, a solemn service begins in all the churches of the country. In Tbilisi, it takes place in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, headed by the Catholicos-Patriarch. And after the service, the most interesting and spectacular begins: the Alilo festive procession.

Alilo is a Christmas carol that ends on the night before Christmas. It was the name of the chant that formed the basis of the tradition that arose in Georgia several centuries ago. This tradition always had a charitable character - at Christmas people went from house to house and collected donations, which were subsequently transferred to the poor people. From year to year, for centuries, the Alilo tradition has been strictly observed in Georgia.

After the prayer service on Christmas night, the holiday moves from the churches to the streets. In Tbilisi, Alilo has a spectacular character. Alilo's festive procession in Tbilisi starts from Rose Square. Every year clerics, parishioners of various churches, ordinary citizens and passers-by take part in it. Baskets intended for collecting donations are carried by oxen on special wagons. The wagons slowly follow the road, and the people gradually fill the baskets.
Children walk in front of the procession, personifying the angels. Their heads are decorated with wreaths of beautiful flowers. They are followed by shepherds who symbolically point to those shepherds who announced the birth of Jesus Christ. Students dressed in white shrouds with hymns carry the icon of the Savior, crosses and flags. The procession is completed by a caravan of Magi and people singing Christmas songs. Passers-by join them along the way. Both adults and children become participants in the common joy.

Everything that is collected during the procession - sweets, toys and clothes - are transferred to children deprived of parental care and poor citizens. The festive procession of Alilo passes through the Baratashvili rise and Avlabari square and ends near the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. From the street the procession moves to the cathedral. Before the start of the festive prayer service, Catholicos Patriarch of All Georgia Ilya II addresses the flock and congratulates all believers on the feast of the Nativity of Christ.

And on Christmas night, candles are lit in every Georgian house. They are specially placed at the window so that the light can be seen by passers-by. This tradition is observed in memory of distant biblical events, when Joseph and Mary sought shelter for the birth of their son. Georgian Christmas has its own culinary traditions. For this holiday, the housewives bake kvertsi - delicious Christmas cakes.

Happy Georgian women have two wonderful women's holidays in March: Mother's Day and International Women's Day. The first holiday began to be celebrated in the country recently, since 1991. But for its short history, it has managed to fit firmly into the calendar of holidays.

On this spring day, the streets of the cities are literally buried in flowers. They are sold at every step, and demand still exceeds supply, because on this day there are no those who would not congratulate their beloved, dear, mothers, grandmothers, wives. The cult of the mother is sacred to Georgians. A huge statue was even built in Tbilisi, symbolizing Mother, Motherland, Georgia ... On Mother's Day festive mood comes not only to every house, but also to every city. Tbilisi, for example, hosts many interesting festive events: concerts, shows, charity events, folk festivals…

Every woman dreams of celebrating March 8 in Georgia! It is well known that Georgians are gallant gentlemen and ladies' men. And on this day, they try especially hard, giving their ladies compliments, flowers, gifts and, most importantly, such reverent attention that it’s time to melt even the heart snow queen. Speaking of queens. This honorary title on this day belongs to all women gathered at the festive table. Amazing Georgian wine sparkles in glasses, wonderful toasts to the glory of female beauty, charm, wisdom... Speeches are getting longer and are already turning into whole songs... In a word, the holiday that Georgian men give to their women is a real fairy tale!

This holiday can be safely called a harbinger of Georgian independence. It was from the events of April 9 that the idea of ​​the country's sovereignty began to grow stronger and acquire new forms of political struggle. On that tragic day, April 9, 1989, Soviet troops in order to suppress popular rallies demanding the restoration of Georgia's independence. As a result, 30 people died, more than 200 were injured.
On this day, the country remembers all those who fell in the struggle for happiness and freedom. native land. Civil funeral services are served in churches. In Tbilisi, flowers and lighted candles are carried to the memorial to those who died on April 9.

No wonder that loving Georgians have two love holidays in their calendar.
Georgians came up with their own alternative to the internationally recognized Valentine's Day a few years ago. The youth supported this idea, and now April 15 is the favorite holiday of all young lovers. happy couples. On this day, they give each other flowers and gifts, arrange surprises and romantic evenings. In Tbilisi, concerts (only love songs), romantic shows and competitions are timed to coincide with this beautiful day ...

Easter

The Feast of the Resurrection of Christ has always been celebrated in Georgia with special solemnity. Preparations for Easter began, as elsewhere, after the feast of the Lord's Entry into Jerusalem.

Christians of Georgia spend Good Friday in fasting and prayers, attending all statutory services with their families. In some regions of the country, the tradition of "cleansing by fire" is still preserved. On Great Wednesday evening, they light a large fire and jump over it, perceiving this as a symbol of purification. On this day, everyone tries to confess in order to take communion on Maundy Thursday. Maundy Thursday is especially recognized by the people as the day of the establishment of the Eucharist.

Orthodox Georgians deeply experience Good Friday as the most mournful and important day of the year. On this day, they not only do not eat, but also do not work, they spend the whole day in church. At the end of the rite of burial of the Holy Shroud, returning home in the evening, they begin to prepare for the feast.

On Great Saturday early in the morning, the Shroud is carried around the church, after which it is placed in the center of the temple. On Great Saturday, believers must observe a strict fast; those preparing for communion at the Easter service should not eat after 6 p.m.

On Holy Saturday night, after 12 noon, a litany is performed. Parishioners congratulate each other with the phrase “Christeagdga!”, To which they answer “Cheshmaritadagdga!”

Every year on May 9, Georgia celebrates another date of victory over fascism. In Tbilisi, celebrations are held in Vake Park at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On this day, from the very morning, a brass band plays in the park, couples are circling around the summer stage, everything around is in flowers ... As if nothing has changed since that memorable spring of 1945 ... Only the veterans are no longer young strong men and gray-haired old men. From early morning, the flow of those wishing to lay flowers at the foot of the memorials and Eternal fire, personally congratulate the veterans with a bouquet of flowers. This holiday is dedicated to them, the heroes of the war, today the warmest words, congratulations and wishes are heard for them, concerts, solemn banquets are held.

Let's take a look at history Georgian history, at a time when the fair and wise Queen Tamar ruled Georgia. The reign of Tamar fell at the turn of the XII-XIII centuries. This time became the "golden age" of Georgia, the flowering of enlightenment, peace, and spirituality.

The queen was able to unite the mountaineers of other faiths under her command, reconcile the church with the state, built hundreds of temples and monasteries, libraries, patronized poets, scientists and ordinary people. The Georgian people, like many centuries ago, worship and glorify Queen Tamar.

Today this day is big national holiday. The main celebrations are held in Tbilisi and Akhaltsikhe, where a monument to the crowned lady is erected.

Georgia has become independent state March 31, 1991. It was on this day that the country's sovereignty was declared during a nationwide referendum. Nevertheless, Georgia marks the anniversary of Independence on May 26, the day when Georgia first became a free state. It happened in 1918. By that time, Georgia had been under the rule of Georgia for almost a century. Russian Empire. New Republic lasted only 3 years, after which it became part of the USSR. Thus, on March 31, historical justice was only confirmed, and main date liberation remained on May 26.

The main state holiday in Georgia is celebrated on a grand scale. According to tradition, a solemn military parade and a grandiose holiday concert. The military parade passes along the main street of Tbilisi - Rustaveli Avenue. Slender steps pass along the main artery ancient city military columns: thousands of military personnel of all types of troops. Followed by over 100 units military equipment. And dozens of aircraft draw intricate patterns in the sky.

No less spectacular is another event, according to tradition, taking place on this day. This is the famous flower festival "Vardobistve". These days, the famous Peace Bridge turns into a colorful rainbow of flowers.

Celebrations also take place in capital park Vake, where veterans gather. There is an action in memory of those who gave their lives in the name of the Independence of the country.

Children's events and holidays are held in parks, and sports matches and competitions are held in stadiums.

The crown of all celebrations is grand concert in the historical part of the city - Rica.

flower festival

He also has a second, no less beautiful name- "Pink month in Tbilisi". The celebration of the festival falls on the Independence Day of the country. Zion Square and Shardani Street of the capital are being turned into an open-air greenhouse. Here you can admire a huge number of flowers, and among this splendor there are also very rare species. Gardeners put on display pink, yellow, red, blue fuchsias, petunias, roses, etc. In addition to flowers at the festival, you can appreciate the beauty of decorative pines and Christmas trees.

Ninooba - that's how big is called in Georgian religious holiday, dedicated to the day(June 1) arrival in Georgia of St. Nino, who converted the Georgians to the Christian faith.

This happened at the beginning of the 4th century. Saint Nino was from the Roman province of Cappadocia. Early adopting Christianity, she went with her parents to Jerusalem to serve the Lord. There she learned the legend about the chiton of the Lord and began to pray for its acquisition. According to legend, the Mother of God, having listened to the prayers of the girl, showed her the way to the Iberian Valley, so that she would carry the teachings of Christ to the new pagan lands and gave her a cross from a vine.

The relics of St. Nino are in the Bodbe Monastery in Kakheti. On the day of her coming, crowds of pilgrims come here, and a festive divine service is solemnly held in Tbilisi in Zion cathedral. The greatest shrine is also kept here - a cross made of grapevine, with which Nino baptized Georgia. Also, every year at this time, believers arrange a pilgrimage in the footsteps of St. Nino, passing along the route Mtskheta - Bodbe.

If the Day of Love in Georgia is celebrated only by couples in love, then the Day of Spiritual Love is a universal holiday, because God loves us all! And so that people remember this at least once a year (and ideally as often as possible), this Holy holiday. It was celebrated in Georgia from time immemorial, but during the years of total atheism it was forgotten. And it was revived only in the years of independence, thanks to the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II. In Georgian, the holiday is also called Gergetoba. It is celebrated on a special scale in the town of Gergeti.

Rtveli

Any traveler, no matter what country they are in, strives to see it from the inside: national characteristics, the identity of the ethnic group, life and customs common people. Only then will his journey be complete, and his impressions complete and vivid.

In order to understand and see Georgia, it is enough to visit only one holiday - Rtveli. This is the time of the grape harvest, a holiday for which the whole family gathers. And it does not matter that the children have already grown up and have flown away from their father's house. Everyone comes to rtveli. This is the law of the family, and the family for Georgians is sacred. It's really impossible to imagine how grapes are harvested by a small group of three people.

Rtveli is noise, laughter, songs, dances, jokes. Here are the men returning from the vineyards in a large crowd. In their hands are huge wicker baskets full of ripe amber clusters. Now the sacred ceremony will begin - the grapes will be crushed in large vats. Women at this time conjure over the hearth: on the fire is a vat with a traditional treat - a Tatar. This is grape juice boiled down with flour. From this sweet mass, women make the famous churchkhela - a favorite delicacy of Georgian children - walnut kernels in grape caramel. Incredibly delicious! The table that Georgian housewives set for rtveli cannot be covered even by a fabulous self-assembly tablecloth. All Georgian delicacies are collected here at once: fragrant shish kebab, juicy khinkali, spicy satsivi, tender lobio and khachapuri, and what an abundance of greens, fresh vegetables and fruits!

And it’s so good in the soul from the fact that tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, work will be in full swing, and then the household and numerous guests will again gather at the festive table, who are always welcome here!

A big - if not great - spiritual holiday is celebrated by Georgians on October 14th. It is based on a real miracle: the acquisition by Georgia of the greatest shrine, the tunic of the Lord, thanks to which the main temple of Georgia, the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, was built.

Any Georgian knows the legend of how two Jewish priests brought Jesus' tunic, in which he was executed, to Georgia back in the 1st century. Everyone also knows that a sacred cedar grew at the burial place of the chiton, which later became myrrh-streaming and brought people healing from all ailments. People called the cedar the Life-Giving Pillar (Svetitskhoveli).

At the beginning of the 4th century, the first king of Georgia - Mirian - decided to build a church in its place. But the trunk could not budge. Only St. Nino was able to beg the blessing of the Lord. An invisible force lifted the trunk into the air and lowered it in the place where a wooden church soon grew. The pillars for the first church were carved from the same cedar.

In the 11th century, the dilapidated church was replaced by the majestic Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, which today is located in historical city Mtskheta - the ancient capital of Georgia. And the main celebrations of the Svetitskhovloba holiday, of course, take place here on ancient land Iberia. A solemn service led by the Patriarch of All Georgia begins early in the morning in the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral. The majestic and dazzling surroundings of the cathedral, the clergy dressed in gilded robes, the sacrament of rites - this spectacle is as beautiful as it is sacred, believers come to it not only from all over Georgia, but from all over the world.

After the festive service, a mass baptism of people is held at the confluence of the Aragvi and Kura rivers, which has become a traditional part of the Svetitskhovloba holiday. On this day, believers also visit the holy places of Mtskheta: the ancient Jvari monastery and ancient temples.

St. George the Victorious, sitting on a horse and striking a serpent with a spear, is the most beloved and revered Christian saint in Georgia. According to an ancient legend, St. Nino herself bequeathed to the Georgians to honor the memory of her beloved brother, who converted Georgia to the Christian faith.

The history of St. George dates back to the beginning of our era, to the dawn of Christianity. George served as a commander under the Roman emperor Diocletian and became an intercessor for all Christians who were subjected to violence and persecution. For this, he himself was subjected to terrible tortures: the unfortunate man was betrayed on the wheel, when, while rotating, the wheel sets in motion many knives and a lance that dig into the body of the victim. Christian church canonized George as a great martyr and saint. And for Georgia, he became a patron and protector, and the day of his wheeling - November 23 - is a big church holiday in Georgia.

On this day, bells ring in all churches. Believers pray to St. George for well-being, peace and health. In Tbilisi, in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, a solemn liturgy is performed. November 23 is a public holiday in Georgia. Georgians have a rest, devoting leisure time to themselves, their family, friends and relatives. On this day they cover a beautiful festive table, toasts flow like a river, traditional Georgian polyphony sounds.

(1 slide) music sounds - “Lizginka”, the guys in suits and the presenter come out.

Moderator: Hello friends. Our class represents the country Georgia.

1st reader: Poem

I love you my country!

Your forests, fields, lakes,

But most of all I love the mountains,

They have a lot of strength, a lot of will,

They have a lot of memory and pain.

They've been standing for hundreds of years

clinging together majestically,

Like a mighty line of warriors,

For enemies, pulling out a wall.

Presenter: (Slide 2) On the world map, Georgia seems like a very small country, the size of Holland. However, this is an optical illusion. Georgia is not a country, but rather a continent with mountains, rivers, steppes, deserts, tundra, glaciers, beaches and taiga.

(Slide 3) Flag of Georgia

One large red cross and four small crosses on a white background are a common Christian symbol representing Jesus Christ the Savior and the four evangelists. Silver (white) color in heraldry indicates innocence, purity, purity, wisdom, and red - courage, courage, justice and love.

It is a red shield depicting a silver figure of the patron saint of Georgia, St. George, on horseback, slaying a dragon with a spear.

(Slide 5.6) In the clothes of Georgians, both luxurious and refined, for the nobility, and simpler, for artisans and poorer people, there was both a strict elegance of masculinity and a gentle grace of femininity, the character of a person, his occupation, habits were brightly highlighted in it. And she brought people joy and peace, because there were no indifferent to their appearance.
(Slide 7) Women wore long, highly fitted dresses, with a tight-fitting bodice trimmed with beads, gold braid, and pearls. The belt was made of velvet, silk or moiré ribbon.

(Slide 8) Traditional men's clothing consisted of an undershirt (perangi) sewn from chintz, silk or canvas, underpants (sheidishi), wide overpants (sharvals). The outerwear was belted with a narrow type-setting silver belt with a buckle. A dagger was hung from the belt. The headdress was a high hat made of black sheepskin, among the nobility it was made of expensive astrakhan fur.

(Slide 9)Dishes of Georgian cuisine - this is truly the food of the gods. None of the national and traditional cuisines of other nations has such an abundance of food, such mind-blowing smells and such a desire to eat everything that is on the plate... In Georgia, a meal is not just eating food, but also a leisurely conversation. Because it is simply impossible to imagine a Georgian feast without peaceful communication. Georgian food is the same attraction of Georgia as the mountains, the Black Sea, parks and fountains. In order to taste real Georgian food, to feel all the tastes of khachapuri, the aroma of khinkali, to try unusual cheeses and soups, you should definitely visit this country.

( Slide 10) Georgian traditions

Those who have not been to Georgia do not know what hospitality is. But not just hospitality, but Georgian hospitality. And it is not just words. This is what is in this small but very beautiful country In fact. And this is something that is not customary to be proud or boast about. Georgian hospitality as one of the traditions of Georgia is a symbol of the country, without which it is difficult to imagine not only residents of the capital or other big city but also residents of villages and towns.

A wedding in Georgia is not just a wedding. This is the real event. Indeed, during this event, two huge families become real relatives, and small families simply do not exist in Georgia.

It is customary to invite all relatives from the side of the bride and groom to a Georgian wedding, so there are incredibly many guests at such an event. And that doesn't bother anyone. But not to come to the wedding of the young in Georgia is considered a great disrespect. At Georgian weddings, they don’t shout “bitterly”, but they sing and dance a lot there. Traditionally, as for any other wedding, gifts are also given here. And if the gift turned out to be very expensive or a lot of money was donated, then the person who made it is recorded in a special family book. And his name remains in it for a very, very long time.

(Slide 11,12,13,14 ) Georgian dances are complex and very diverse. Every dance in this country has its own own tricks and features that will never be repeated in another dance. In every dance, the women move incredibly gracefully and proudly. They seem to want to show the audience all their beauty and the beauty of all their national clothes.(Slide 9)And the men in the dance show militancy, strength and courage.(Sounds quiet ethnic Georgian music)

(Poem against the background of a melody)

Blossom, my Georgia, with a colorful garden,
Blossom, my dear, a fairy tale,
For the sun to play with the pattern of the valleys,
Color them in fun colors!

I want Kura to run faster
For her roar to echo
Over the tops of the mountains and beyond the seas
Echo ringing, insane rushed.

I ask you, God, give love to the heart,
To my native land, immaculate
Save and forever save from war,
From the bloody and crushing night.

You lull her, let her rest,
Raise her to free heights,
And let her sing a song to you there
About the great and ancient Tbilisi.

You can talk for hours about this beautiful country. About what fascinating music, how magnificent and unusual architecture, what great people Georgia gave birth to.

People of different nationalities live in this beautiful and proud country: Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, Avars, Udins, and even local blacks were noticed.

Six kinds of Christianity, two kinds of Islam, and mysterious pagan cults coexist right there. Even those people who call themselves Georgians bear little resemblance to each other.

Language, cuisine, psychology, everything is different.

(Slide 22)

Georgians are a proud and freedom-loving people. But like all people globe they want to live in peace and harmony with other nations.
