| Abstract: The article is devoted to identifying forms of interaction between two cultural models, traditional and Christian, in one of the Upper Oka calendar traditions, localized in the eastern part of the Kaluga region. An analysis of the musical and poetic texts that fill the local folk calendar, as well as some ritual practices, reveals their close connection with the Orthodox church tradition. Presumably this phenomenon is due to the unique historical and cultural landscape that developed in the east of the Kaluga province, one of the most important elements of which was a high concentration of monasteries. Identification of the mechanisms of interaction between two cultural systems based on the material of the Upper Oka calendar tradition demonstrates not only its originality, but also the possibility of studying other song systems from a similar perspective, which, in turn, can expand the research understanding of the multidimensionality of folk culture.
