Abstract

Most researchers of ritual procession have emphasized pre-Christian legacy in this ritual complex. In contrast, this paper places the accent on the existence of Christian dimension of the ritual, having thus used a different approach. This new approach has enabled us to understand better Christian dimension and meanings, left behind in the mentioned previous studies. Also this paper presents differences between church and folk model of the ritual allowing thus drawing a conclusion which stresses a parallel existence of the two differently shaped semantic systems within the ritual, with an emphasis on the existence of over encompassing Christian determination of all aspects of the ritual.
