ORAL LITERARY, ECCLESIASTICAL AND FOLK TRADITION OF SINJ REGION

Ovim istraţivačkim radom prikazana je nekadašnja svakodnevica i običaji naroda naseljenog na teritoriju sinjskoga kraja. U radu su zapisane razni usmeno-retorički oblici kazani od strane nekolicine stanovnika koji su čitav svoj ţivot proveli na tom području. Pomoću raznih molitvi, legendi, mitoloških predaja, ali i boţićnih, uskrsnih te mnogih drugih običaja vidljivo je kako se nekada ţivjelo te zabavljalo, a samo rijetki običaji očuvali su se i danas. Takvi običaji uglavnom su vezani za crkvenu baštinu te blagdane, primjerice za blagdane Boţića i Uskrsa te tako i danas ljudi imaju skoro jednake običaje za advent i Sveto Trodnevlje kao što su imali i prije. Narod je prije puno više vremena provodio u prirodi, ali i u meĎusobnom druţenju te su tako nastajale razne usmene pjesme, ojkalice, samačke pjesme, one zabavnog karaktera te molitve. U ovom radu opisan je i jedan običaj koji se sasvim izgubio, a to je silo i prošenje mlade. Još jedna od specifičnosti sinjskoga kraja jest i blagdan Velike Gospe te povijesna i vjerska vaţnost Gospe Sinjske za ovaj kraj.With this research paper, it is shown previous every-day life and tradition of people, who were inhabited on region of town Sinj.
