Badnjak – the Slavic Yule Log, Traditions and Customs
“Set the blazing Yule before us…” An ancient English Christmas carol says. Tradition of burning a Yule log is very ancient and is known among Slavs, too. However, they call this holiday log Badnjak or Kraciun. In this post, I want to share the ancient knowledge of how to prepare Badnjak, its symbolism and traditions associated with burning Badnjak at home.
Winter… It’s cold and dark outside. People try to escape the cold inside, but the chilly winds blow in the cracks and howl in the chimney. The only way to survive on these dark cold nights is to build a fire, a very hot blazing fire that would not go out for days. The master of the house places a large oak log or even stump that he ritually cut down for this purpose into the hearth. The log takes a long time to start, but then burns for a long time. Oak wood produces a lot of heat when burning, and therefore is considered the best firewood. Seems simple and even… ordinary. However, to our ancestors, this was magic, the sacred rite of… survival.
Burning of badnjak is known in Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Herzegovina, Dalmatia, and Istria, some regions in Croatia and Slovenia, and everywhere it is accompanied with a ritual feast. At Winter Solstice, Serbians throw money, sprinkle grains, flour and salt, pour wine and oil in the fire from the burning badnjak as they pray about fertility and abundance of their herds and crops and prosperity of their household. As they strike a poker on the burning log, they say: “May I have as many cows, horses pigs, goats, sheep, beehives, as much good luck and happiness as there are sparks in this fire!”
The etymology of the word “badnjak” is related to the verb “bdet”, i.e. stay awake, stay on watch. First mentions of this tradition are dated by XII century (Dubrovnik).
This is how Russian folklorist A.N Afanasiev described Badnji Eve (Christmas Eve) in Bulgaria: “The head of the family, his wife and children go outside with splinters lit in their hands. From there, they go to the place where the firewood is usually chopped and choose a thick, long, and damp oakwood log. When such a log is found, the master of the house takes of his hat and pronounces with admiration: “Help us, God and you Koleda, may we live to see another year!” Then, he loads the log upon his shoulder and takes it inside, places it in the oven, and starts a fire. As he approaches the hearts he says to his family present around him: “Christ is

Jel bakalar u điru ili nešto modernije ?
I, as a romanian, can t understand a thing from the posts that alreday have been posted, so i want to see your feedback about what happened
I don't usually share my opinion on these kinds of things, but as someone from Serbia (who therefore has a lot of Serbian friends on social media), I am fed up with all the "Free Djokovic" posts flooding my feeds. As much as Djokovic has done to throw a positive light on Serbia, this vaccination/visa issue and the response of many Serbians to it is doing the opposite. So this is a rant to try and balance out (at least a little bit) the myriad of posts from Serbs who feel victimized by Djokovic's Australian drama.
I'll address a couple of the main sentiments I've been seeing.
1. "Novak is getting stomped on because they are offended he's a Serb."
The "they" in this case refers largely to Western nations. Although corrupt politicians/leaders in Serbia have managed to successfully propagate anti-Western sentiment over the past few decades to distract people from the lying + stealing the government itself is doing, the Western world is NOT out to get Serbia. Sure, the bombing of Serbia should not have happened. And the fact that Serbia in the public mind came across as the sole aggressor in the 90s conflict was not right. But, without getting into the political nitty gritty, we can in large part thank the corrupt Serbian "leaders" for that as well. The Serbian people (not the state) in many ways are victims. But the fact that they don't recognize who is victimizing them and are falling right into the trap of pointing the finger at the "evil, Western THEY" is genuinely depressing.
2) "They're treating him like he's a criminal. They're singling him out because he's him."
Technically - isn't the opposite true? Australia has its own rules + laws, and anyone who fails to comply has to bear the consequences. From what I've seen from reputable sources, it seems that Djokovic has failed to produce the proper documentation for entry. So if they let him in, it would be a slap in the face to all those people who do comply with the rules. It would be hugely disrespectful to the citizens of Melbourne who are dealing with a massive wave of the virus even right now. If what is being said about his documentation is true, then letting him in would be giving him preferential treatment.
3) "Rio Tinto is an Australian company."
To understand this one, you'd have to know the background behind Rio Tinto. This will be a huge oversimplification, but basically Rio Tinto is a company that was going to mine lithium is Serbia, which would have been extremely
