* This strange song is sung by many of the Slavonic rnoes. It is well known in Bohemia.lt is of great antiquity, coming down to us from Pagan days. It is supposed to relate to a sacrifice that was made to the god Cernebog who was somewhat like the Moloch of ancient Carthago. At certain times beautiful youths and maidens were burned alive before this fearful deity.This song is connected with some of the most ancient Slavonic legends. |
