The National Customs Relating the Liturgical Year within the Region of Ostrožsko

The thesis focuses on the national customs and their interrelation with the liturgical calendar. My aim is to describe and reflect on each of the customs and traditions, those still kept existing and also those these days reminded only by word of mouth within the liturgical year. The region of Ostrozsko is introduced in the first part. There are highlighted basic facts and brief history of single villages in this area. The second part of my thesis aims to define liturgics and also significant feasts of liturgical year are closely described here. Both the first and second part interrelate in the third chapter. I focus on religious aspects of the feasts, how the traditons and customs complement one another relating religion of this area. I also refer to customs which did not survive and on the other hand those that are still popular within the whole region
