During the birthday celebration, you can arrange a real theatrical performance. This will entertain guests and also broaden their horizons. To do this, you need to learn the roles in advance with the birthday boy’s friends. The roles of grandmother and mother can be entrusted to one of the adults.
Sketch “Name day or birthday?”
Characters: Grandmother; her granddaughter Tanya, a slightly dreamy girl of 8 years old; Yulia is Tanya’s friend, a lively, cheerful girl of 10 years old; Sasha is a 5-year-old grandson.
Small, cozy room. It’s getting dark, snow is slowly falling outside the window. Grandma is in a chair, children are nearby on chairs.
Julia. Tanya's birthday is coming soon. Great! I love this day very much: guests come, bring gifts, mom sets the table, and there are so many delicious things on it! And of course, cake.
Sasha. I love cake too. I even dreamed about it: big, big, and eat as much as you want.
Tanya. If only you had sweets, you always fall asleep with candy in your hand. You take the candy from the box on the sly from your mother.
Sasha(embarrassed). Yes, there’s only one of me, my mother won’t even notice. (Continues, after a pause, mysteriously). Or maybe my saint gave me this candy?
Julia. Saint? Who is this?
Sasha. The nanny told us in kindergarten that each of us has our own saint. He has the same name as me.
Tanya. Grandma, is Sasha telling the truth?
Grandmother. Once upon a time, name day was a very important holiday for Orthodox people. This day was higher than a birthday. Name day was considered a spiritual holiday, and birthday was considered an earthly holiday. Therefore, in those distant times, people did not celebrate their birthday, sometimes they did not even remember their birthday. But the name day was celebrated joyfully and solemnly.
Tanya. Grandma, tell me why they say “name day”?
Grandmother. Here's why. Previously, names were given to children in the church at baptism. The child was named in honor of the saint on whose memorial day the baptism occurred. The church calendar marks the days of honoring each saint. Many saints were once people like us, but for their good deeds or suffering, which they accepted so as not to renounce Christianity (at a time when Christians were persecuted for their faith), they began to be revered as saints. These are the names they gave to the children. It was believed that the saint would help the one who bears his name in everything.
Here you are, Tanya, bearing the name of Saint Tatiana. They call her the Great Martyr. Her name is Greek and means “organizer, founder.” And for Russia this day is also remarkable because on the day of St. Tatiana a university was opened in St. Petersburg, the first in Russia. This happened under Empress Catherine II.
Julia. Do all the names mean anything?
Grandmother. Certainly. And many names that we consider originally Russian actually came to us from other languages.
Julia. What does my name mean?
Grandmother. Some names are translated differently. Thy, for example, in one interpretation means “fluffy”, and in another, that the owner of this name belonged to the Roman family of Yuliev. Yes, you really are a kind, affectionate girl, and your hair is so fluffy.
Julia. What does Sasha mean?
Grandmother. His full name is Alexander, which is translated from Greek as “protector of people.”
Julia. This means that you, Sasha, must be honest and courageous in order to be a real defender.
Tanya. Is it true, grandma, that there are names that don’t even need translation? Well, for example, Vera, Nadezhda.
Grandmother. Yes, these are ancient Russian names; they really don’t need translation. We will already understand that Lyudmila is dear to people, and Svetlana is bright. And the name Love does not need translation. The meaning of any name can be found in special books about names, and this is very fascinating. Read and you will learn a lot of interesting things in the interpretation of names. Let's think about how best to arrange this day. After all, this is how it was once done: a few days before the birthday, they thought about how everyone would have fun at the holiday, so that this day would be remembered. They planned out who could perform what: someone would read poetry, someone would sing a song. It turned out to be a whole concert. And how many games there were!
For example, in my childhood there was a game “Will you go to the ball?”, but don’t take black and white, don’t say “yes” and “no”.
Sasha. How is it? How is it played, this game?
Grandmother. 2 players take part and the rest watch. One player offers his questions, trying to make the other player make a mistake and say the words “yes” or “no” or choose forbidden colors (black or white).
Julia. Oh, I get it, I get it! Come on, Tanya, are you going to the ball?
Tanya. I'll go.
Julia. What kind of dress will you have?
Tanya. Blue, with lace.
Julia. Which blue is better, white is better!
Tanya. Blue!
Julia. So, then your shoes will probably be black?
Tanya. Like a dress, blue.
Julia. What are you, blacks!
Tanya. No, not black, but blue!
Julia. Ah, so you made a mistake, you made a mistake, you lost! She said the word “no”.
Grandmother. Well, it’s okay, Tanya, you’ll be more careful later. Here's how they played. You can divide into 2 teams and call them, well, for example, “Honey” and “Sugar”, take the ends of the stick and see which side will have more strength: “Honey” or “Sugar”?
They also really loved all sorts of riddle games with words. You had to guess the word by replacing the letters in the original word.
Julia. Let's play!
Grandmother. Okay, guess. “With the letter “s”, everyone really needs me in food, but if you change the “s” to “m”, then you need to take care of your fur coat and hat from me.”
Children(they shout almost in unison). This is “salt” and “mole”!
Julia. These are “tom” and “house”, I guessed it!
Grandmother. And now: “With the letter “t” it is placed at the end of every sentence, but with the letter “k” you can trip over it.”
Tanya. This, of course, is a “point” and a “bump”.
Grandmother. Well, and one more thing. “With the letter “k” it is wrapped around a tree trunk, and with the letter “n” it is a dwelling for the beast.”
Julia. "Bark" and "hole", right?
Grandmother.“With the letter “m” it’s a gift from the bees, but change the “m” to “l” and you can safely skate.”
Julia and Tanya. We guessed it because we love both. These are "honey" and "ice".
Grandmother. “With the letter “v” it is called when someone is sick, and if you change the “v” to “g”, then it is the bird that brings us spring.”
Julia. This is definitely “doctor” and “rook”.
Sasha(sadly). But I couldn’t guess anything.
Grandmother. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you other riddles. Listen.
Summer, clouds in the sky,
The sun warms my sides.
I taste very sweet
And my name is...
Sasha (cheerfully). Watermelon!
Grandmother. Guess again.
I'll decorate your salad
Everyone will be happy to eat.
People have loved it for a long time
Red, juicy...
Sasha. Tomato!
Grandmother. The soup with me is not bad at all,
I call myself...
Sasha. Peas!
Grandmother. Well, now let's go bake birthday cakes.
The children leave after Grandmother.
Scene "Birthday"
Characters: Mother; her daughter Tanya, a girl, about 9 years old, whose birthday is being celebrated; guests: Nikita - a lively, mischievous boy; Olya is a chubby, serious girl; Natasha is a cheerful, smart girl, Alyosha is the youngest of the guests, about 4 years old.
A cozy room is decorated with balloons. The table is set. Mom puts napkins on the table, Tanya adjusts the bow in front of the mirror.
Mother. Well, it seems everything is ready. Now I'll just bring the juice. And you, Tanyusha, get ready to receive guests. Be friendly to everyone so that no one is embarrassed. Be careful with gifts: you must unwrap the gift and thank him, because the one who presents it to you wants to please you.
Calls are being made. Tanya runs out into another room and joyful exclamations and laughter can be heard from there. The children return to the room with the table set. Everyone is lively. The bell rings. Little Alyosha comes in and hands Tanya his gift - a bunny. Tanya kisses Alyosha and puts the bunny on a chair.
Mom offers to sit at the table.
Mother(throwing up his hands). But we are missing something on the table and, in my opinion, there is no cake here. But I see some kind of note. (Unfolds the note and reads.) “Look for the cake using the clues.” And here are the tips:
He has four legs
Soft plush belly,
I love to sit in it with my cat,
Let him sing songs to me.
What is this item? Who is this with the plush belly?
Natasha. I guessed it was a chair. I also like to sit in a chair with a cat and a book.
The children come up to the chair and take out a new note.
Nikita(is reading).
Lions and tigers on the screen,
A new fairy tale has come,
I can sit for hours
I did it forgetting.
Only mom is unhappy
She orders me to sit down at the table:
— Have you been preparing for the test?
Watch out, you'll get a stake!
Mother. Can you guess what this item is?
Olya. It's not hard to guess; we all love watching TV. It's really hard to tear yourself away from him.
Everyone goes to the TV, looks under it and takes out a new note.
Olya(is reading).
Well, on to this subject
You go with respect.
Smart thoughts, advice,
You will find a lot in it.
There's a scientist cat on a chain here
Can tell tales
Talking crows
They will help Gerda.
Moidodyr will meet you here,
Lame and crooked,
The guys will notice the dirt -
Head straight into the sink!
Beautiful Malvina is here
Like a magic key you need
Open doors to knowledge.
You will be warmly welcomed here,
Children(they shout joyfully, almost in unison). This is a bookcase, because the poems talked about the heroes of our favorite books.
Everyone goes to the bookcase and takes a new note from the shelf.
Mother(is reading).
Now let's go here.
Stop.
And take a closer look at this subject.
What is this, you will now understand,
When you read poetry about him.
It happens that people are dirty and slobs
They go home with a soiled shirt,
Smeared with ink and chalk...
Then get down to business
And with the help of a machine very quickly
You will become neat and clean.
Well, have you guessed it?
Girls. It's a washing machine!
Mother. Run, bring us the next note - a riddle.
The girls run away and return soon.
Olya has a note in her hands.
Mother. I see you have a new riddle, then read on.
Natasha.
There is eternal cold in this object,
The frost is both strong and angry,
So that we don't feel hungry,
He stores our products.
There's some kind of sign pinned here,
Is this where our surprise sits?
Everyone goes to the refrigerator and mom takes out the cake. He carries it to the table, puts it down, and under the cake everyone discovers the last note:
"Here's the cake,
He is in front of you:
White and pink, large.
Cut it into pieces
And put it in front of you."
Everyone sits down at the table.
Nikita(looking cheerfully at the guests). And I know how to behave properly at the table. I read about this from the poet Grigory Oster, listen carefully:
If you get salad on your hands at lunch
And you’re embarrassed to wipe your fingers on the tablecloth,
Lower them discreetly under the table
And there calmly wipe your hands
About the neighbor's pants.
Natasha. Wow tips!
Nikita. And these are not simple tips; the author himself called them “Bad Advice.”
Mother. Behaving correctly at the table is a whole science. Here you, Nikita, should have pushed the girl’s chair aside and helped her sit down, and then not start eating yourself, but first offer food to your neighbor at the table. And on the table, many serving items have their own history. For example, a well-known napkin. You wouldn't even realize that it has very ancient origins. It was used during feasts in Ancient Rome. Then, however, they forgot about her. But in the 15th century they began to use it again.
Did you know that a long time ago in peasant houses there were no plates, only bowls and pots. Therefore, food (of course, not cabbage soup or borscht) was placed on a piece of bread, and then such a “bread” plate was eaten. Only in the 16th century did plates appear. A spoon is a very old object, much more than 1000 years old, but a fork is relatively young, it appeared in the Middle Ages and was invented in order to protect the large collars of noble people from greasy stains that food could leave. Only in the 19th century, quite recently, one might say, did the fork take its place on every table.
Now help yourself to some cake.
Nikita. And I can give everyone advice about the cake.
Natasha. Harmful again? From Grigory Oster?
Nikita. Now you will understand. Listen carefully.
If a friend's birthday
I invited you to my place,
You leave the gift at home -
It will come in handy yourself.
Try to sit next to the cake,
Don't engage in conversations:
You're talking
Eat half as much candy.
Choose smaller pieces
To swallow faster.
Don't grab the salad with your hands -
You can scoop up more with a spoon.
If they suddenly give you nuts,
Place them carefully in your pocket,
But don't hide the jam there:
It will be difficult to take it out.
The children laugh merrily.

All the guys laugh and say goodbye to Tanya
Sketch “Name Day with a Frenchman”
Characters: Mother; Natasha, her daughter (she is the birthday girl), guests (children).
Before this skit, the presenter will make short explanations.
Let the children watch it like a fairy tale.
In the sketch it is necessary to use a fragment of P. I. Tchaikovsky’s opera “Eugene Onegin” - Monsieur Triquet’s couplets.
Leading. Guys, of course, you all know the great Russian poet A.S. Pushkin. You know him from the wonderful fairy tales “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish”, “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights”, “The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda”, etc. But, in addition to fairy tales, Alexander Sergeevich wrote other works. So, he wrote the novel “Eugene Onegin”, and you will read it when you are older. Based on the plot of the novel, composer P. I. Tchaikovsky wrote the opera “Eugene Onegin”. But now we are interested in hearing a small piece from this opera. There is a scene of the name day of Tatiana (the heroine of the novel), to which the Frenchman Monsieur Triquet came. In honor of the birthday girl Tatyana, he sings the verses he composed, of course with an accent, but understandably.
A mother and daughter are sitting on the sofa in the room.
It’s a winter evening, it’s dark outside, the table lamp is on.
Mother. Well, it seems that everything is ready for tomorrow: treats, sweets, prizes that we will award at competitions and games... Have you invited everyone, Natasha?
Natasha. Yes, mom, and everyone said they would definitely come. This will be fun! I was so looking forward to this day! Mom, you said about prizes. I also prepared riddles; my grandmother and I picked them up. She said that her birthday party when she was little was also fun. In just a few days they prepared the performances - it turned out to be a whole concert.
And her grandmother, my great-great-grandmother, celebrated her name day. Back then they didn’t celebrate birthdays, but only name days. That's what grandma says. Well, there were also guests, a festive table, gifts, a cake with burning candles... Of course, relatives and guests performed: they sang, danced, read poetry, solved charades.
Mother. Do you know what a charade is?
Natasha. I know, mommy, my grandmother explained to me that this is a riddle in which the word being riddled consists of parts, and these parts themselves are separate words.
Mother. Well done, Natasha, you explained it correctly.
Natasha. For example, I’ll tell you a riddle: the first syllable is a note and the second is also a note, and the whole word means a plant that looks like a pea. What is this?
Mother. I think it's beans.
Natasha. I guessed correctly.
Mother. In general, playing with words is very interesting. Now I’ll make a wish for you too.
Here is a word with two meanings:
One is closely related to the castle,
Other - in the meadow, in the forest
It murmurs, runs and splashes,
It shines like a transparent stream.
Natasha. I think that's the key.
Mother. Absolutely right.
Natasha. My grandmother also said that she listened to an opera where there was a name day, and there was a Frenchman in a wig, a guest at the name day, who sang verses in honor of the birthday girl. And my grandmother sang them to me. I liked the verses. Very funny and amusing. I even wanted to attend these name days.
Mother. Well, daughter, you have fantasized, but you need to rest. Lie down for now, and I’ll go bake a pie. By the way, pies were always baked for both name day and birthday.
They also told me about name days and said that they broke a pie over the birthday boy so that raisins from the pie would fall on his head. It was believed that money and all kinds of wealth would also be showered on the birthday person. The people had many interesting customs, and you need to know them in order to imagine how our grandmothers and great-grandmothers lived... Relax, but it’s time for me to get some pie.
Mom leaves the room. Natasha leafs through the large picture book for some time, but soon lays her head on the pillow and falls asleep. A light, transparent fabric falls from above, like a curtain. The light gradually fades and comes back on again. All the action takes place behind a transparent fabric - this is a girl’s dream. In a dream she is Tatyana.
A girl in a 19th-century dress, with long curls, a bow in her hair, a pink fluffy dress tied with a ribbon under her chest.
Several smart and cheerful children. Music is playing (polonaise from the opera “Eugene Onegin”), talking animatedly, the girls hold hands and spin around. They approach the birthday girl, kiss her, and give her gifts.
Lackey(enters and announces). Monsieur Triquet. A young man in a red wig quickly runs in and bows gallantly.
In his hands he has a sheet of paper rolled into a tube on which couplets are written.
Monsieur Triquet. Let me, Tatyana, congratulate you and present my little poem in your honor. A musical fragment of Monsieur Triquet's couplets plays. The person playing the role of Monsieur Triquet at this time portrays a singing man.
At the end of the singing, the children laugh and clap their hands.
Mother. Bravo, bravo, Monsieur Triquet! Your verse is excellent, and sung very, very nicely.
And now, children, you and Monsieur Triquet will play games. There is a Russian folk game called “Bear the Bear in the Forest.” First, let's choose a bear.
Children(they shout). This is Monsieur Triquet, Monsieur Triquet!
Mother. He sleeps in the forest, and we all go into the forest to pick mushrooms and sing a song.
Children(singing).
By the bear in the forest
I'll take mushrooms and berries!
The bear is fed up
Frozen on the stove!
As soon as the players have said their last words, the “bear,” who was “sleeping,” begins to “wake up,” and then suddenly runs after the children and tries to catch someone. The one who is caught becomes a “bear”. Children do not have to immediately rush to run from the bear; they can tease him with a song.
Mother. You're probably tired, let's play some quiet game. Let's solve riddles! Whoever solves the most riddles will receive a prize.
Soft paws, and scratches in the paws. (Cat)
I have no legs, but I walk
I have no mouth, but I will say,

Mother. I think the girls want to dance. Right?
The melody of any polka sounds.
Children stand in pairs and dance.
Mother. I have prepared 2 more riddles for you, but I don’t know if you will be able to guess them.
There's a hole at the top
There's a hole at the bottom
And in the middle -
Fire and water.
Children. This is a samovar.
Mother. That's right, and we'll need it. And what else we need for tea, you can tell yourself if you guess the next riddle.
White as snow
In honor of everyone.
Got it in my mouth -
There he disappeared.
Children. Sugar.
Mother. Well, you deserve it, it's time to drink tea.
The light gradually dims and comes back on.
The transparent curtain has been removed. In the room, on the sofa, Natasha wakes up. Her Mom comes in.
Mother. I see that you are already awake?
Natasha. Oh, mommy, what a dream I had! I was Tatyana, Monsieur Triquet came to me and sang his funny couplets. I had guests, and we played different games: we guessed riddles, danced the polka, everything, just like in the old days. We even drank tea from the samovar.
Mother. That’s right, Natasha, then you could drink tea from a samovar. Do you know how long it has been around? It has been in Russia since the 18th century, and it was made in Tula. This city was famous for its samovars. There were so many different sizes and styles of samovars! Inside the samovar there was a pipe into which either pine cones or wooden blocks were poured. They set it on fire with a torch, fanned the fire with air, the water heated up and boiled. At the top of the samovar, behind a low carved grate, stood a teapot. On the table there was chopped sugar in a sugar bowl with beautiful tongs for it, and there was various jams. Bagels were sometimes hung on a hot samovar to warm them up. Tula samovars are as famous as other Russian souvenirs, such as matryoshka dolls, balalaikas, brightly and beautifully decorated Khokhloma dishes, and Palekh painting. Sitting at the samovar was a favorite custom in Russia. People gathered with families over a boiling samovar, merchants made trade deals, went out of town with samovars and drank tea in nature.
Natasha. How interesting! Do we have a samovar at home?
Mother. There is, only it is quite modern - electric, but the tea from it is also very tasty.
And now let’s hasten to prepare the table not for those guests you had in your dream, but for the real ones.
TEN VIRGINS
LEADING:
The last time has come
Living now on earth.
It became sad, it became sad
In nations, churches and in families.
All people are now indifferent.
Nothing scares anyone.
Only a heaviness fell on their souls,
And in their hearts there is a coldness.
But time is running out.
And soon our Bridegroom will come.
Ready for the feast He is with Him
He will take you to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Let's look at the picture.
What Jesus showed us
About the Kingdom of Heaven and the Virgins,
What lesson did He give us in it?
Our bridegroom ascended to heaven
And soon He will come again.
Here the maidens come out to meet you,
To be with Him at the feast.
Ten maidens come out and sit in front.
1ST WISE:
Ten of us came here,
So that we all can meet the Groom.
But will it come to earth soon,
We don't know the hour or the day.
But we, sisters, will try
No sleep or dozing all the time.
And cheerful, with a burning luminary
Look forward to it.
Our groom will be here soon,
Perhaps at this very hour.
Look, wait with cheerfulness,
So that He does not meet us sleeping.
1ST UNREASONABLE:
This is how I reason to myself,
Perhaps it won't come soon.
Why be so afraid?
As if He is coming now?
2ND WISE:
Oh, my dear sisters!
We want to enter the feast with Him.
And sooner or later it will come,
Neither we nor this world know!
But let our light shine brightly,
And let there be oil in reserve.
And let love burn in your heart,
After all, He will come to take us soon.
2ND UNREASONABLE:
This is how we talk to ourselves
And we wait impatiently for Him.
And if he suddenly slows down there,
We will have time to meet Him.
3rd WISE:
Oh, sisters, why think about this,
What, He won’t come soon?
All we need to do now is believe.
To meet Him when He comes.
3rd UNREASONABLE:
Some kind of heaviness finds
There is no strength to wait for Him anymore.
And it makes me very sleepy,
My lamp began to fade.
4TH WISE:
For our encouragement here
Let's repeat all the words together
From the book of Saint Matthew
Words of Jesus Christ.
All together: Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man will come.
4TH UNREASONABLE:
If only the Long-awaited One would come soon,
So that we can stay at the feast.
The oil is already burning out,
And it's boring to wait
5th WISE:
Oh sisters, I see perfectly
That the hour of sleep has come.
But let's be alert and ready,
So that he doesn't find us sleeping.
And I suggest to you, sisters,
Let's sing at least one song.
In which it is so clearly sung:
“Go to meet Him.”
Everyone is singing.
5TH UNREASONABLE:
How long has our Bridegroom been gone?
And we have a little oil,
And our light is completely fading,
He will find us sleeping.
1ST WISE:
Oh no, don't try to sleep!
May be. What at this hour
Our long-awaited Groom will come
And he will find us sleeping!
Five foolish maidens begin to fall asleep with their heads bowed down.
2ND WISE:
Oh sisters. Look, don't sleep,
After all, sleep is approaching you.
You keep your luminaries.
He will soon return to us.
Be ready to feast with Him
Heavenly and nuptial enter.
So that we don’t cry bitterly later,
Standing at the closed door.
Then he will tell you: “Go away,
Unhappy people, it's too late now.
I don’t know who you are, where you are from,
The door is already closed forever.”
3rd WISE:
Let's stay awake for a while,
Perhaps He will come soon.
And we will all come out to meet you boldly,
And he will take us all to the feast.
All 10 maidens fall asleep with their heads bowed.
HOST: Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the groom. Of these, five were wise and five were foolish. The foolish ones took their lamps and took no oil with them. The wise, together with their lamps, took oil in their vessels. And as the groom slowed down, everyone dozed off and fell asleep. But at midnight a cry was heard: behold, the groom is coming, come out to meet him.
CRIER:
Here comes the groom!
Why did you fall asleep and sleep?
Get up from your sleep!
The groom is coming! Hurry up
To go out and meet Him!
Get up, get ready!
Light your lights.
Try to go faster
Hurry to the feast with him!
He's coming! Come out quickly
Toward. Testament is his voice
Let's feast on you. Come and see
So that He does not pass you by.
The five wise virgins rose, and the foolish ones slept.
1ST WISE:
Now there's a scream
Our groom is coming.
Why are we sleeping here?
He's waiting for us all there.
2ND WISE:
Rather, wake up your dear sisters
Let them correct the light in their luminaries.
The 3rd Wise Maiden addresses the sleeping ones.
3rd WISE:
Get up, why are you sleeping?
Get up, the groom is here!
Quickly light the lights,
He hasn't passed yet.
4TH WISE:
Get up, because time waits for us!
Go to meet Christ.
After all, the doors can close!
Where will you go then?
Five foolish maidens awaken.
1ST UNREASONABLE:
What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?
We'll have time to get out now.
Why are you yelling at us like that?
As if the door had already closed?
2ND WISE:
We are awakening you!
Our groom has arrived!
How long will you sleep?
Let's meet halfway!
4TH UNREASONABLE:
Oh, how can we go? Our light has gone out!
And we have no oil in our vessels at all.
Five foolish virgins turn to the wise.
UNREASONABLE: Please give your oil.
TOGETHER: Our lamps have completely gone out!
5TH WISE:
We can't do this
So that I can give you the oil now.
Perhaps then there is a lack
Happen to you and to us.
So you better go
You all go to the sellers quickly.
And buy yourself some oil there,
So that the light shines brighter.
Foolish virgins go off to buy oil.
1ST WISE:
Oh sisters, let's go quickly
With a burning luminary in his hands.
We will hasten to the feast with the Groom
And we will be with him in heaven.
They leave singing a psalm.
HOST: When they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut; then other virgins come.
2ND UNREASONABLE:
Oh, where are our sisters that they are not here?
And where can we look for them so that we can go together?
1ST UNREASONABLE:
Their lights burned brightly,
And there was oil in the vessels.
As soon as the Groom knocked,
Everyone entered the feast before Him.
5TH UNREASONABLE:
Why did we sleep, that our light went out?
Oh, what should we do? Where should we go?
All we have to do is knock on the door.
1ST UNREASONABLE:
And I suggest we go to the door
And we knock, will they not open it for us?
5TH UNREASONABLE:
Why did we doze, that our light went out?
And there was no more oil in our vessels.
Those five are at the feast now.
And we stayed here knocking on doors.
3rd UNREASONABLE:
What are we going to do here now?
(crying)
Standing at the groom's door?
Ask and pray. May be,
The gates will be opened for us.
4TH UNREASONABLE:
What happens when they don’t let us in?
(with tears)
To where there is a feast of the Bridegroom?
And they will say: we don’t know where.
Go into the darkness forever!
Oh, woe will befall us all then,
When they won't let us in to Him.
We will remain, poor, insignificant
For sorrow, for shame, for blasphemy.
Friends, call with me,
So that they let us all in there,
Where are the wise maidens in the hall
They are always with Christ.
5TH UNREASONABLE:
O our God! God! Open up to us!
We sincerely pray, let us in!
Open the gates for us quickly
After all, we are standing here at the door!
Foolish virgins fall to their knees screaming and cry out
1ST UNREASONABLE:
Our Lord! Open up to us
To the Bridegroom's Chamber
We want to login
And always be there.
2ND UNREASONABLE:
Our Lord and our God! Open up to us!
(crying)
Let us in to the Bridegroom's feast.
We pray to you, O Merciful One,
Let us in, let us in!
After all, we went out to meet,
And we had the light in our hands.
Only the oil was gone in the vessels.
And this is an obstacle for us?
Foolish virgins, crying and sobbing, leave the door.
5TH UNREASONABLE:
We were careless, our oil became scarce.
And we became unhappy, we found ourselves at the door.
