Ukrainians celebrate the Old New Year on January 14 according to the old Julian calendar. On this day, people visit relatives and friends, go to church, and eat traditional foods like pies, sausage and porridge. An old tradition involves the oldest woman stirring porridge while saying prayers - if the pot cracks, it is a bad omen for the new year. Children also go caroling door-to-door in exchange for candy. One popular carol is "Carol of Bells" which is sung in Ukrainian, though there is also an English translation provided.
