The author clarifies the semantic continuity of the holiday cycle and the interrelationships of the games with each other. At first glance, these games may differ in order of performance, with some naunces, but several ideological, structural-semantic similarities show that, notwithstanding partial differences, they are nourished and anchored mainly around several ideological axes, have the same or an almost identical archaic basis and are remnants of archaic ritual activities.
