INDEED IN THE HISTORICAL AND MYTHICAL TRADITIONS AND SONGS OF THE SINJ REGION

Maleni grad na rubu Sinjskog polja diči se bogatom povijesti iz koje se razvila bogata usmena književnost. Rad je pisan s ciljem da se osvrnemo na našu prošlost i istražimo predaje i pjesme koje nam govore o stvarnom životu i da riječi sačuvaju ono što je prošlo. Sinjani se s ponosom prisjećaju bitke koja se vodila davne 1715. godine i čudesne obrane njihovog viteškog grada. Mnogo je predaja vezano upravo za te događaje, a koje narod i danas rado pripovijeda. Sve se one već stoljećima prenose s generacije na generaciju. Nezamislivo je proći kroz sinjski kraj, a ne čuti barem jedan mali dio tih predaja. Posebno mjesto unutar tih predaja zauzima Gospa Sinjska, štit i utočište svakog stanovnika viteškog grada. Za razumijevanje bitke koja se vodila za grad Sinj kao i njegove čudesne obrane 1715. godine veliki značaj imaju franjevci iz Rame. Oni su davne 1867. godine bježeći od nemilosrdnih turskih vojnika donijeli sliku Gospe od Milosti koja je nakon obrane Sinja nazvana Čudotvorna Gospa Sinjska.The small town on the edge of the Sinjsko polje boasts a rich history from which a rich oral literature has developed. The work was written with the aim of looking back at our past and exploring the traditions and songs that tell us about real life and that words preserve what has passed. The people of Sinj proudly remember the battle that took place in 1715 and the miraculous defense of their knightly city. There are many traditions related to these events, which the people are still happy to tell today. All of them have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. It is unthinkable to pass through the Sinj region and not hear at least one small part of these traditions. A special place within these traditions is occupied by Our Lady of Sinj, the shield and refuge of every resident of the knightly city. The Franciscans from Rama are of great importance for understanding the battle that was fought for the city of Sinj as well as its miraculous defense in 1715. Back in 1867, fleeing from merciless Turkish soldiers, they brought the image of Our Lady of Mercy, which after the defense of Sinj was called the Miraculous Lady of Sinj
