Summary

The studies in this collection are an echo of the 1980s and 1990s and are from the field of folklore ritual, folk art and art during the Bulgarian Renaissance. 19 studies are included, one of which is from the author's personal archive and is published for the first time. All the others have been fundamentally revised and supplemented. Most of them are richly illustrated with 198 color and black-and-white photographs. Little-known or unexplored rites and ritual variants, some basic material-ritual forms (ritual objects), as well as specific images that found a place in folk and Renaissance art are examined. The book is intended for students, doctoral students in the humanities and all those who are interested in Bulgarian folklore culture and Renaissance art.
