On the New Year day, after dinner and until nightfall, an unusual ceremony ritual was organized in an old Colchian family – the “Kiru-Karu”. The etymology of the name is unknown. On this day, the housewife of the family prepares the pies in the shape of various animals and birds, as well as of non-spiritual objects from the dough of wheat or rye flour, which she bakes on a stone pan “angura”. It was important to depict the image of a bunch of grapes and a hen on the pies. The pies in the forms of the different agricultural tools were also baked. During the feast, the housewife would call the family members and play the hen and chicken game. The hen calls her chicken and says the blessing: “Che kotomi chelaიa! Che munomirkhialee, shi antasi chqimi tis, aka medzobelishi tis!” (White hen, white hen! You laid a white egg for me, a hundred for me, only one for my neighbour). After the hen and chickens ritual is over, the male head of the family continues the ritual. A man with a stick in one hand and baked pies in the other goes to the cellar, followed by all the members of the family, and each companion holds a stick in one hand and a gift in the other - a pumpkin, a candle, dried fruits, hazelnuts, flour and others. Under the leadership of the elder, the men with platter full of food enter the cellar, stand along the wine press and start smashing the pies with the image of a bunch of grapes and beating the stick on the wine press with the following words: "Jujelia, jujelia, chkimi mamuli khargelia, shkhvashi mamuli furcelia, chana, chana, chkimi mamuli dakhundzluli, skhvisi mamuli fotoli!” (let my house be full of harvest and the houses of others – of leaves). Similar rituals could also be performed in cattle sheds and other stalls.
