The Christmas Card with envelope shows carols with an octagonal star. The star is one of the symbols of the folk rite of caroling, which takes place on Christmas after the Holy Supper, or depending on the local people, on the first day of Christmas, after the church service ends. The Christmas Star is a traditional attribute of the Christmas rite of caroling. In Boykivshchyna and Hutsulshchyna, the "star" was also called a nativity scene. The Christmas star is an attribute associated with the birth of Jesus Christ, because it was the "Star of Bethlehem" that foretold the miraculous birth. The rite is a special theatrical event, during which people went to each other's houses, congratulated the owners with songs and reenactment of household scenes. For this, carol attributes were made: an eight-pointed star, masks of the Goat, the Bear, etc. Depending on the region, the festive bands differed in their quantitative composition and ceremonial characters. Folk belief states that the stars are the souls of people, and the strength of their radiance depends on the righteousness of a person. According to folk-Christian belief, each star is a candle that God lights with the birth of a person. The Christian symbolism of the particular star, which serves as an attribute of caroling, consists in the image of the Star of Bethlehem, which indicated the birthplace of Jesus Christ. In the mythological beliefs of Ukrainians, the star symbolized a beautiful girl, the wife or daughter of the Moon, the master of the sky.
