SUVREMENA USMENOKNJIŽEVNA BAŠTINA OTOKA SINJSKOGA I OKOLICE U ETNOLOŠKOM KONTEKSTU

U ovom radu prikazani su običaji i predaje vezane uz Cetinski kraj, ponajviše za Otok i okolicu. Većina ih je povezana uz kršćanske blagdane, osobito uz Božić i Uskrs. Uz ta dva najveća kršćanska blagdana, u radu se najviše spominju običaji vezani uz Gospu Sinjsku koja je od velikog značaja svima u Cetinskoj krajini te uz svetoga Luku koji je zaštitnik Otoka. Ljudi su se okupljati u bratovštine. Važan dio u godini predstavljaju i poklade, odnosno mačkare koje su ostatak poganskih običaja koji se odvija pred kraj zime i dovršava se do početka korizme. Zanimljivo je bilo saznati kako su ljudi prije obavljali svakodnevne poslove te kako bi kratili vrijeme. Svi su se bavili poljoprivredom pa su i od malih nogu čuvali ovce te je bilo zanimljivo pročitati kako su se igrali i kakve su pjesme smišljali kako bi se zabavili. Mnogo različitih običaja odvijalo se u vrijeme svadbi, najzanimljiviji su kupovanje mlade i bacanje kićenice. Zanimljive su i predaje koje se prenose s koljena na koljeno, a najviše se ističu demonološke i mitske predaje.In this paper, the customs and traditions related to the Cetinska region, especially the island and its surroundings, are presented. Most of them relate to Christian holidays, especially Christmas and Easter. Along with those two biggest Christian holidays, the work mostly mentions the customs related to Our Lady of Sinj, which is of great importance to everyone in the Cetinska region, and to Saint Luka, who is the patron saint of the island. People are gathering in brotherhoods. An important part of the year is represented by carnivals, that is, mačkare, which are the remnants of pagan customs that take place towards the end of winter and are completed by the beginning of Lent. It was interesting to find out how people used to do their daily work and how to pass the time. All of them were engaged in agriculture, so they looked after sheep from a young age, and it was interesting to read how they played and what kind of songs they came up with to entertain themselves. Many different customs took place at 43 the time of weddings, the most interesting ones being buying the bride and throwing away the kićenica, an apple with coins. Traditions that are passed down from generation to generation are also interesting, and demonological and mythical traditions stand out the most
