| Abstract | U ovom radu prikazani su nekadašnji životi ljudi na području općine Dugopolje te seoski i godišnji običaji kao što su ženidba, sijelo, narodne igre, mitske maštarije i vjerovanja, ali i svetkovine različitih blagdana kao što su Cvjetnica, Uskrs i Božić. Sklapanju braka prethodilo je upoznavanje mladića i djevojke, a to se najčešće odvijalo na crkvenim svečanostima ili na sijelima (sijelo je vrsta društvenog okupljanja). Postoji popularno vjerovanje kako su se vile skrivale u mosorskim šumama, a svaki put kada bi izašle, strijeljale bi najljepšeg mladića i djevojku u selu. Uoči Božića, muškarci su pripremali drva za vatru i većinom odmarali dok su žene kuhale, pripremale jela i kolače te čistile kuću. Na Cvjetnicu se u crkvi održava blagoslov grančica masline, na Veliku subotu obavljao se blagoslov hrane (jaja, kruh, mladi luk i dr.). Jedna od najpoznatijih uskrsnih tradicija jest bojenje jaja. Na Uskrs se priređuje obilan doručak i jede se blagoslovljena hrana. |
| Abstract (english) | This paper speaks of former lives of the people within the municipality of Dugopolje, rural and annual customs such as wedding, sijelo, folk games, mythical fantasies and beliefs, as well as celebrations of various holidays, like Palm Sunday, Easter and Christmas. Before the wedding was set, the future bride and groom had to be introduced to each other, which took place either at church ceremonies or at sijelo (a type of social gathering). There is a popular belief that the fairies were hiding in the forests of Mosor, and every time they came out, they would shoot the most beautiful young man and woman in the village. The day before Christmas, men would prepare logs for the fire and mostly rest, while women would cook, prepare meals and desserts, and do the cleaning. The blessing of olive tree branches in church takes place on Palm Sunday, while the blessing of food (eggs, bread, leek, etc.) takes place on Easter Saturday. One of the most famous Easter traditions is egg dyeing. On Easter, a plentiful breakfast is served with all the blessed food. |
